$125k grant will aid in searching Still Museum’s collection
Posted: November 4, 2009
Thanks to a grant of $125,252 from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services, staff members at the Still National Osteopathic Museum will be able to effectively categorize and catalog artifacts as they move toward a uniform inventory of their Osteopathic Heritage collection.
“Certainly, in these economic times, to be getting this kind of money for a job we’ve wanted to do for the last 10 years is really amazing,” said Museum Director Jason Haxton.
Located on ATSU’s Missouri campus, the museum will use the grant to create a comprehensive inventory of all collec- tions with digitized and scanned images, as well as online access to the inventory. This award will aid in the first phase of a multi-year project, with an ultimate goal of better serving the public, as well as seeking accreditation from the American Association of Museums.
