FAIRFIELD — The L.C. Bates museum has received a National Endowment for the Humanities Preservation Assistance Grant for small museums to buy shelving and housing materials for historic museum collections.
The grant will also provide money for a conservation workshop in collaboration with Maine Archives and Museums on handling and housing collections. The workshop will be open to the public and is designed for museum staff and people with family treasures to care for.
The museum is also seeking volunteers to help house the collections and put the fou shelving units together. It can be interesting to work with the historic tools, objects and documents that record local history, museum officials said.
