American Museum of Natural History

The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) will conduct a risk assessment of the library and archive holdings throughout the institution. The primary goal of the project is to prioritize the needs of the collections in an objective and relational way, significantly strengthening the collection and providing the basis for strategic preservation planning. The assessment will result in more efficient risk mitigation strategies and provide the foundation for a long-term plan for the most effective allocation of museum resources. In addition, the final project report will serve as a model for other institutions with library and archive holdings.
