As part of the 25th anniversary of the Museum Services Act, the independent federal agency, Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) published this book about its 17 year history of support for conservation activities in America's museums. The book is a tool for museum professionals to educate their boards, contributors, patrons, and communities-at-large about the importance of conserving their collections. It highlights 21 conservation projects ranging from the preventative conservation of Franz Marc's Large Blue Horses at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis to eradicating bovine tuberculosis in African Bongo antelopes at the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans. The book includes an index, organized by state, of every museum that has received a conservation grant from the Institute.
