funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services

 

Georgia’s IMLS funded statewide preservation planning project was conducted in 2008-2009. With the first phase completed, the Georgia Healthy Collections Initiative created the following tools:

  • An updated interactive GHRAB Historical and Cultural Organizations Directory web site;
  • A test survey of more than 80 collections-holding institutions in Georgia, which produced initial findings that will inform future statewide emergency and preservation planning and enhance tourism;
  • A stair-step scale (calculated using a subset of the survey questions) that rates survey participants according to the current level of their collections care program; and
  • Customized stair-step reports for the survey participants with suggestions for moving their collections care programs up to the next level.
