With the help of the NEH grant, the Collections staff will begin the real work to prepare the off-site for the future installation of the HVAC. To accomplish this project, staff will verify the inventory of all materials at the off-site facility to prepare for the upcoming move. Archival materials will be relocated to the museum while smaller artifacts will be boxed up and organized. Because the facility is divided into two parts, staff can utilize one space while the other section’s HVAC is installed. Though this may sound simple, it will take many hours of staff time to ensure that thousands of artifacts of all sizes and hundreds of boxes are safely moved. We are delighted to share that it was a wonderful success! While gifts and pledges are still coming in, our tally was $71,904 cash in hand, sponsorships and pledges. In addition to welcoming new donors, we also welcomed ten new Clock Tower Society members. Thanks goes out to everyone that participated and help ensure that the CSPM is building a lasting connection to the Pikes Peak Region by preserving and sharing our cultural history!
