GHHN is New York State's ‘go-to' service organization focusing on interpretation, collections care programming, and the conservation and preservation of objects in collecting institutions statewide. Our programming and professional development training programs, webinars, hands-on workshops, web-based resources, responsive technical assistance, and grant opportunities provide the tools so that historical societies, historic house museums, heritage centers, historic sites, archives, and libraries may better care for their own collections. GHHN, in partnership with the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA), administers the NYSCA/GHHN Conservation Grant Program. Now in its 25th year, the grant program offers support for conservation treatment procedures by professional conservators as well as preservation supplies & collections assessments.
