Hancock Historical Society   Hancock Historical Society Awarded Federal Grant       The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and Heritage Preservation are pleased to announce the Hancock Historical Society Museum has been awarded a 2001 Conservation Assessment Program (CAP) grant. CAP assists museums by providing for professional conservation and preservation specialists to identify the conservation needs of museum collections and buildings and recommend ways to correctly improve conditions for their preservation. Two professional conservators will spend two days surveying the Hancock site and three days writing comprehensive reports that will identify conservation priorities. The assessment report will help the museum make appropriate improvements for their widely varied Hancock archives and artifacts and their building, which was built in 1809.   IMLS is a leader in preventative conservation and is dedicated to helping the nation's museums protect their collections. CAP is a one time award funded by the IMLS and is administered by Heritage Preservation. 2001 CAP Grant Report   Return to Homepage - Write to the HHS Hancock Historical Society, Hancock, N.H., ©2003
