Yosemite Museum Ethnographic Conservation

The National Park Service intends to award a single source justified cooperative agreement for the Yosemite Museum Ethnographic Conservation project. The project aims to provide service opportunities for students, recent graduates, or emerging professionals to work with NPS professional staff to obtain experience in complex museum and archives conservation issues and projects. The recipient will be responsible for carrying out the statement of work, which includes tasks such as cataloging or re-cataloging museum objects, performing monthly environmental monitoring, and implementing recommendations from the 2010 Conservation Condition Survey of Ethnographic Collections at Yosemite National Park. The NPS will provide financial assistance, office space, and technical assistance to support the project. Some key aspects of the project include: • The project will focus on the conservation of ethnographic collections at Yosemite National Park. • The recipient will be responsible for appointing a key official and creating an effective partnership with Yosemite National Park. • The NPS will provide financial assistance of up to $132,306.18. • The project is expected to last approximately 840 days, from August 1, 2019, to December 24, 2021.
