The Environmental Monitoring Kit program address the conservation needs of small museums by giving them the ability to monitor their gallery and storage environments. By sharing equipment and training resources, small museums will have access to important equipment and valuable training at a very low cost.

This project was conceived of by members of the Texas museum community and organized by the Texas Association of Museums and the Collection Managers Committee. Made possible by a generous grant from the Meadows Foundation.
