PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
Preplanning, precise inventory and proper scheduling are as essential to a
successful collection relocation as the careful handling, packing and
tracking of the objects. ELY will create a plan tailored to your needs or
coordinate with your plan, working closely with all personnel involved from
your institution. ELY, Inc. can create a move plan tailored to your needs,
detailing each phase of a relocation and the steps within each phase. ELY
can utilize your existing inventory system for the move or create one for
you. The inventory system can be provided both in hard copy and electronic
formats enabling you to manage and locate items in your collection if they
are to remain in storage during a renovation. A detailed schedule outlining
a day by day blueprint of staffing, tasks to be accomplished and target
dates will define and organize the overall scope of the project.
Fort Meade Collection Relocation
ELY, Inc. packed and crated on site at Fort Meade for 3 weeks in preparation
for relocation of the collection into off site storage. The collection
consisted of over 24,000 artifacts and documents that were being moved during
museum renovation. Ely, Inc. also designed packing systems and mounts that
functioned for both transit and storage. During packing and transit, Ely, Inc.
provided inventory control and maintained the same level of control as pieces
arrived at the storage facility.
