Fundraising for Collections Preservation and Conservation

North Carolina Preservation Consortium Annual Conference

William and Ida Friday Center for Continuing Education

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

November 13, 2009    8:30 AM - 4:00 PM

Effective fundraising can significantly enhance preservation and
conservation programs in libraries, museums, archives, and historic
sites.  Even in prosperous times our institutional budgets often fall
short of meeting collection care needs.  How has fundraising for
preservation and conservation changed in our current economic
environment?  The North Carolina Preservation Consortium presents a
panel of nationally recognized speakers to share their fundraising
success stories and offer advice for establishing and enhancing a
comprehensive development program.  Join colleagues from across the
state for a discussion on annual drives, events, direct mail, capital
campaigns, endowments, planned giving, grant writing and other
fundraising strategies.  Learn how to craft a compelling case statement
and a prioritized development plan.         

Conference Speakers 

Susan Mathisen is President of S.A.M. Fundraising Solutions.  Her
expertise bridges the fields of conservation and fundraising.  She has
worked as a conservator in both the United States and Europe and as a
fundraiser for museums, universities and other historical agencies.
This unique combination of skills makes her the "go-to" consultant when
organizations need assistance finding the resources to realize their
preservation and conservation goals.

Susan gained her knowledge of conservation and museum practice through
positions held at the Morgan Library, Smithsonian Institution, National
Gallery of Art, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, and Hardy Holzman
Pfeiffer Associates (now H3 Hardy Collaboration Architecture) and as
administrative conservator/development officer and adjunct professor of
conservation at the Conservation Center, Institute of Fine Arts, New
York University. She has also held development positions at the National
Academy Museum and the American Academy in Rome. 

Susan has a Master of Arts degree in Museum Studies and Textile
Conservation from the Fashion Institute of Technology and a Certificate
in Fund Raising from New York University.

Nancy Odegaard is the Conservator and Head of the Preservation Division
for the Arizona State Museum. She is also a Professor in the Department
of Anthropology. Nancy manages and supervises staff and programs in the
conservation lab, advises on museum environmental issues, and promotes
the preservation of collections through improved exhibition and storage
conditions.

In 2008 the Arizona State Museum received a national preservation award
from the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic
Works and Heritage Preservation for demonstrated excellence and
outstanding commitment to its decades long dedication to preservation
and collections care. The award cited the museum's preservation of its
renowned collection of Southwest American Indian pottery.

This Pottery Project received federal recognition in the Save America's
Treasures program, a Clinton White House preservation initiative. The
collection was also recognized and named an Arizona Treasure by Governor
Janet Napolitano.  Funding for the Pottery Project came from the Ak-Chin
Indian Community, the Gila River Indian Community, the Salt River
Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, Mrs. Agnese Nelms Haury, numerous
generous individuals around the state and across the country, and from
federal granting agencies including the National Endowment for the Arts,
the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Center for
Preservation Training and Technology, the NAGPRA grant program, and the
National Science Foundation. Nancy's vision and designs for the Pottery
Project resulted in a $3.5 million climate-controlled storage vault, a
state-of-the-art conservation laboratory, and a new exhibit gallery.

Nancy holds a PhD in Applied Science from the Conservation and Cultural
Heritage Science Studies Department of the University of Canberra,
Australia. She earned her Master of Arts degree in Museum Studies and
Anthropology at George Washington University with a Certificate in
Ethnographic and Archaeological Conservation from the Smithsonian
Institution. Nancy specializes in the conservation of archaeological and
ethnographic objects including the examination, analysis, and study of
materials and pre-industrial technologies used to fabricate artifacts.

Kristen Overbeck Laise is the Vice President for Collections Care
Programs at Heritage Preservation, a national non-profit organization
that advocates for collections. At Heritage Preservation, she has worked
with many initiatives, all of which have included raising funds and
encouraging museums and libraries to increase resources for
conservation. In the mid-1990s, she assisted with Heritage
Preservation's fund-raising for collections care workshops, which
culminated in the publication Capitalize on Collections Care.

She directed the Heritage Health Index, the first comprehensive survey
of the condition and preservation needs of U.S. collections, published
in 2005.  Previously, she coordinated the Conservation Assessment
Program, a technical assistance program for small museums administered
by Heritage Preservation in cooperation with the Institute of Museum and
Library Services. This included consulting with museums to help them
locate funding to implement recommendations in their assessment reports
and producing a semi-annual newsletter that featured a fund-raising
column. Kristen directs Rescue Public Murals a program that is currently
raising funds to help cities across the country restore significant
community murals.

She regularly represents Heritage Preservation at the meetings of the
American Association of Museums, American Association for State and
Local History, American Library Association, Society of American
Archivists, American Institute for Conservation, and regional museums
associations. 

Kristen holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in History from Earlham College
and an Master of Arts in Art History from the University of
Wisconsin-Madison, where she worked with the History of Cartography
Project.
