With National Science Foundation support, the Peabody Museum of Harvard University will curate the approximately half a million photographic images in its collections. It will install environmental controls in a room dedicated to this purpose. Included is an air filtration system. Custom-fitted powder coated steel shelving units with proper storage enclosures will be installed and these will provide a cost effective means of long-term preservation of sensitive historical photographic materials. A computerized shelf inventory will assist researchers. Although color slides in the Peabody Museum holdings have been conserved and placed in proper storage, the remainder of this invaluable collection is subject to deterioration given current storage conditions. These materials constitute an extremely important body of scientific data and some are over 130 years of age. Together these photographs span the range of archaeology, cultural and physical anthropology and document sites, people and cultures which no longer exist. Photographs constitute an important scientific resource and the collections at Peabody Museum are widely used for research purposes. This award will assure the survival of these materials and increase their accessibility to the scientific community.

在国家科学基金会的支持下，哈佛大学皮博迪博物馆将在其藏品中管理大约50万张摄影图像。它将在一个专门用于这一目的的房间内安装环境控制装置。包括一个空气过滤系统。此外，亦会安装特制的粉末涂层钢架及适当的储物空间，以具成本效益的方法长期保存敏感的历史摄影资料。计算机化的货架目录将有助于研究人员。 虽然皮博迪博物馆馆藏的彩色幻灯片已被保存并妥善储存，但鉴于目前的储存条件，这一无价藏品的其余部分可能会变质。这些材料构成了极为重要的科学数据，有些已经有130多年的历史。这些照片涵盖了考古学、文化人类学和自然人类学的范围，并记录了不再存在的遗址、人和文化。照片是重要的科学资源，皮博迪博物馆的藏品被广泛用于研究目的。该奖项将确保这些材料的生存，并增加科学界对它们的访问。
