NYSCA/GHHN Collections Needs Assessment Program


The NYSCA/GHHN Collection Needs Assessment Program was a NYSCA/GHHN Grant partnership program which provided two opportunities for museums across New York State. For four years, this program provided vital consultations and supplies to heritage organizations across NYS. 2020 was the final year of the program. Final reports for 2020 recipients are due by May 31, 2021. 

Congratulations to the 2020 NYSCA/GHHN Collection Needs Assessment Recipients!

Supplies Program

The grant will support professional services for a collections consultant who will come to your organization for a half-day site visit focusing on a collections related topic. 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
Applicants who have consulted with an appropriate professional may request funds to purchase collections management supplies. Supplies may include, but are not limited to: storage boxes, acid-free tissue paper, artifact trays, dividers, UV filtering film, Tyvek sheeting, tape, tags, labels, and environmental monitors. Supply requests for archival or library collections will not be supported.
Maximum award: $500.

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!
