Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
The Ava Gardner Museum will digitize and rehouse its collection of oversized paper-based materials including film posters, large-format photographs, and scrapbooks that document the iconic film legend.
The museum identified this collection in need of improved preservation as part of a previous IMLS inventory and cataloging project.
This digitization and rehousing project will support museum staff to manage and oversee this improvement and purchase camera equipment, a flat-file storage cabinet, and archival supplies.
The project team will partner with the Johnston County Heritage Center to digitize a portion of the collection using their large-format scanner.
The results of the project will be improved preservation and access to the collection through virtual exhibitions and an online catalog, benefiting researchers, film historians, and the public.
