National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium

Dubuque County Historical Society (DCHS) will conduct a collections survey and planning project that will build upon previous successful collections stewardship projects and improve the museum's ability to care for and interpret its historical collections. As a result of the project, DCHS will have a collections plan that will support the mission of the museum; establish best practices for acquisition, deaccession, loans, care, and usage of the collection; and serve as a guide to a comprehensive collection that balances physical and fiscal constraints with the mission and vision of the museum.
