Heritage Preservation's Conservation Assessment Program (CAP) applications are now available. 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.To receive an application, call the CAP staff at (202) 233-0800 or download it from Heritage Preservation's website at http://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.
