Connecting to Collections
Delaware's museums and libraries could lose our cultural heritage, as nearly 190 million historical items* have become endangered. Thanks to generous funding by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), stewards of Delaware's precious heritage collections can learn how to catalog, preserve, and manage them, both or future use and present accessibility.• Policies for Institutions.
