2008 Conservation Assessment Program Applications Are Now Available! 

The FY2008 CAP applications are now available! To receive an application,
call the CAP staff at 202-233-0800 or download it from Heritage
Preservation’s Web site, www.heritagepreservation.org. The postmark deadline
for applications is December 1, 2007. Heritage Preservation’s CAP is
supported through a cooperative agreement with the Institute of Museum and
Library Services.

CAP helps small to mid-sized museums of all types, from art museums to zoos,
obtain a general assessment of the condition of their collections,
environment, and historic buildings. Following an on-site assessment by a
conservation professional, the museum receives a written report recommending
priorities to improve collections care. This report assists museums in
educating staff and board members on conservation practices, creating
long-range and emergency plans, and raising funds to improve the care of
their collections. For museums with buildings more than 50 years old, CAP
also supports an assessment by a historic building assessor. A second
assessment (re-CAP) is available to organizations who participated in CAP
prior to 2001.
