Hello, everyone—

The folks at Oregon Heritage have compiled this detailed look at exactly how much it costs to care for collections, from staff salaries to emergency preparedness go bags. While the primary audience is museums, much of the information is applicable to anyone caring for collections. I’m excited to have it as a resource when working with clients and advocates for collections care.
