DHPSNY offers Planning & Assessment Services in three areas. Archival Needs Assessments provide assistance in archival program development tailored to specific organizational needs; Preservation and Conservation Surveys assess an institution's preservation needs, focusing on preventive care and mitigating deterioration and damage; and our Strategic Planning curriculum, developed in partnership with the New York Council of Nonprofits (NYCON), is designed to assist small- to medium-sized institutions.
