The CHG program supports hundreds of heritage collections by providing community organisations with funding to employ practitioners to:
Explain the meaning and value of their collections (a significance assessment)
Outline the condition of their collections and create a plan to manage it (a preservation needs assessment)
Before recruiting an assessor, organisations should consider whether they are ready to undertake an effective, productive significance assessment. Use our handy questionnaire to get a sense of what’s needed before applying.
