[Thursday] 2002 Conservation Assessment report

That is cool that you found the report. I never got to read it. I put a lot of work into applying for the grant and managing the process and logistics to get it done. Two  The end result was decades of criticism for having been the person that got a government grant for the museum. 

The report disappeared like a prop at the end of the ”raiders of the lost ark”.  

Now we can glean it for a work plan.

The photos and other attachments are too large to send in email, but they are in the museum's Dropbox space, and I'd be glad to share them with anyone who wants to read them--just let me know.
