Tuskegee University (Tuskegee University (Legacy Museum))

Tuskegee University's Legacy Museum will improve the stewardship of its collections by implementing the recommendations of a collections storage and environmental assessment report. The museum will purchase metal shelves and an art rack system for its collection of paintings and historic dioramas. Collections will be relocated to storage locations to facilitate the installation of the art rack system and to maximize space. Tuskegee University students will assist in reorganizing and restocking the collections onto the new shelving and art rack system - these students recently participated in a partnership program between Yale University and the Alliance of HBCU Museums and Galleries aimed at increasing diversity in the cultural heritage and art conservation fields. Throughout the project, the museum will continue to consult with the author of its assessment report to benchmark progress and ensure best practices.
