The Blacksburg Museum & Cultural Museum announces that it is one of 56 institutions in the United States selected to participate in the Collections Assessment for Preservation (CAP) program. CAP helps museums improve the care of their collections by providing support for a general conservation assessment of the museum’s collections and buildings.

The museum will work with a team of preservation professionals to identify preventive conservation priorities. The final assessment report will help the museum prioritize its collections care efforts in the coming years.

“We are delighted to have been selected to participate in the CAP program,” stated Kate Skelly, Executive Director. “This program will help us ensure that the collections in our care will be preserved and accessible for future generations to enjoy.”

The CAP program is administered by the Foundation for Advancement in Conservation through a cooperative agreement with the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
