Collections Management Policy
On February 28, 2017, the Sacramento City Council enacted Resolution 2017-0083, approving a new Collections Management Policy for the Center. The policy covers the acquisition, description, care, use, de-accessioning, and lending of collections held by the Center.
Conservation Assessment Program (CAP) Report
In July 2010, Niccolo Caldararo, Director and Chief Conservator of Conservation Art Service, spent two days with the staff of the Center and the Sacramento History Museum to assess the state of the collections at both institutions and suggest conservation priorities. Mr. Caldararo’s report, paid for through a CAP grant, provides both organizations a foundation in their efforts to secure additional grant funds for collections care.
