multi-faceted national plan to raise public awareness
and inspire action on collections care.
Quote
“These 19 projects represent movement toward collaborative
thinking among collection-holding institutions that have
a strong commitment to collections stewardship. IMLS funding
will assist these relationships in blossoming into powerful
alliances that will serve collections and the people who
use them for years to come.”
