Our museums staff, in partnership with Utah Humanities, have been awarded a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to create the Utah Community Preservation Program, which will train professionals across the state who manage cultural collections. One conservator will be hired to coordinate the program and serve as lead instructor for a series of 24 online and eight in-person trainings and workshops over the course of two years. The program will also train seven cultural heritage professionals, geographically distributed throughout the state of Utah, to act as an ongoing Community Preservation Team.
