NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Museum Studies Master's Program at Southern University at New Orleans has received a $5,234 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
SUNO, in a news release Wednesday, said that the grant is for development of a long-term plan to preserve the University's Norma Wolff Collection of African Art.
The Museum Studies Program is working on a plan that would involve hiring a consultant to conduct a preservation assessment and train museum staff on conservation measures. The program also would acquire preservation supplies.
