NORWICH– The Chenango County Historical Society (CCHS) has been selected to receive a Preservation Survey through the Documentary Heritage and Preservation Services for NY (DHPSNY) Planning & Assessment Services.
The Preservation Survey will focus on preventive care and mitigating deterioration and damage by analyzing the physical environment of the museum’s archival spaces.
Since 1939, CCHS has collected a range of objects related to regional history. Museum collections are cultural resources which allow CCHS to share the stories of local people, places, activities, and events.
“We are so grateful to DHPSNY for this amazing opportunity,” said Jessica Moquin, CCHS executive director. “Our Preservation Survey will help the museum be better stewards of the archival materials and documents that the community has entrusted us with.”
