-- An IMLS Connecting to Collections grant-funded project

Protecting the Past - RI is a planning project that will: result in a RI-focused disaster planning template that can be used by all the State’s cultural heritage institutions; involve a steering committee of selected stakeholders in the adaptation of the template; train stakeholders statewide in the use of the template; and give all RI libraries, museums, historical societies, town halls, preservation societies and other collectors the tools to recognize the value of and benefit from standard planning frameworks.
