The consultant will discuss various areas of stewardship with the site, including identifying your specific collections issues and suggesting and prioritizing basic steps to improve care of your collections. A written report will follow the consultation.
Maximum award: $650 |

Call for Consultants:
We are seeking museum consultants to serve the field for the Collection Needs Assessment Program (CNAP). Following in the footsteps of the extremely successful IMLS C2CNYS Circuit Rider Program, this new grant partnership program with NYSCA will provide an opportunity for collections support. CNAP consultants are hired by sites to conduct a visit on a particular collections care topic, which includes a written report. Consultants receive a stipend for their time and travel. If you are a museum professional who would like to learn more about being listed as a CNAP consultant, please click here!
