Shorefront N.F.P.

Shorefront, which collects, preserves, and educates about black history along Chicago's North Shore, will use IMLS funding to assist current staff in strengthening their collection management skills, developing a collections policy, and preparing a catalog of current holdings. Staff will prepare a collections policy that reflects the mission of the organization and produce a catalog of Shorefront's collection. Material will be displayed on a rotating basis. The grant will also support professional development opportunities for staff including attendance at museum conferences and training in nonprofit management.
