Michigan Museums Association

The Michigan Museums Association, working with the Michigan Historical Center, part of the Michigan Department of History, Arts and Libraries, will train and equip a cadre of two and three-dimensional collections experts who will provide training to collections holding institutions in all of Michigan's 83 counties. Besides providing needed information and resources, these experts will assist each of these institutions documenting the type and condition of existing collections. The data collected will be used to create a “Pocket Response Plans” for disaster preparedness in 300 collecting institutions and a white paper that will include a plan for collective action in support of Michigan’s heritage collections.
