The Greater Hudson Heritage Network (www.greaterhudson.org) has awarded $104K in conservation treatment grants to 24 organizations in NY State, from the eastern end of Long Island to the shores of Lake Erie. These funds provide treatment by professional conservators to aid in stabilizing, preserving, and making accessible to the public an array of unique objects in the collections of NY State’s museums, historical societies, and cultural organizations.
