In the middle of packing and storing the QHM collection in 2020, the museum received a $2000 grant from the Geelong Community Foundation. This timely grant was used to purchase packing materials and monitoring equipment.
The monitoring of temperature, humidity, and light levels are vital for the protection of vulnerable artefacts in both the temporary storage and in the new museum. The QHM is very appreciative of the support from the Foundation. |
