2009 Conservation Assessment Program
Application Update
 |
By the end of 2008, Heritage Preservation received 197 applications for the 2009 Conservation Assessment Program (CAP). Applications were received from 45 states and Washington, DC. The state of California had the most applications with 16; New York had the second highest number of applications with 13.
This year’s CAP recipients will be the first to participate in the new expedited schedule that CAP is piloting for 2009. Whereas in previous years CAP museums had to wait until the spring or summer to have their assessments, in 2009 participating museums can schedule their site visits for as early as January. We hope that this new schedule will capture the enthusiasm of applicants who are motivated to start CAP and improve conditions at their museums. As part of the new expedited schedule, all CAP 2009 museums must have their reports finalized and invoices submitted to Heritage Preservation by the end of November, 2009.
Check the CAP Web page in Spring 2009 for the official participant announcement.
