Grant Description

To provide equipment that will enhance preservation of and enable public access to the collections. Many objects are stolen from museums and from archaeological digs.

An essential part of protecting Guatemalan patrimony is to provide a user-friendly place where museum curators and educators make the connection between the abstract concept of national patrimony and the importance of preserving it.
