Strategic Planning Assistance helps organizations think proactively about their future and shape a three-year plan to serve as a road map for future decision making under a trained facilitator.
Archival Needs Assessments are an excellent way to examine your archival program holistically through an external lens.
Preservation Surveys consist of a general evaluation of your institution’s preservation needs, pinpointing areas of concern and recommendations for improvement.
Condition Surveys are a valuable tool for institutions that have received a Preservation Survey (through DHPSNY or another program) and are looking to evaluate the conditions of collection materials on a more granular level.
