Our Services

Archival Needs Assessments

DHPSNY Archival Needs Assessments thoroughly examine your institution's archival program, identifying what's working, as well as areas of potential improvement. The final assessment report delivered to your organization covers Administration, Collections Management, and Collections Care, pinpointing problems, recommending solutions, setting priorities, and guiding the development of your archival program.

Preservation Surveys

A DHPSNY Preservation Survey is a general evaluation of your institution’s preservation needs and is a recommended step for any archival program. The final survey report delivered to your organization covers Preservation Administration, Building Conditions, Environmental Conditions, Security and Emergency Preparedness, and Collections Care and Storage.

Strategic Planning Assistance

Our Strategic Planning Assistance curriculum was developed in partnership with the New York Council of Nonprofits (NYCON). At the end of the process, your organization will have completed a three-year strategic plan, a document unique to your institution, identifying key goals to support and strengthen your organization with milestones to gauge your success along the way.

Condition Surveys

A Condition Survey is a valuable tool for institutions that have previously undergone a Preservation Survey (through DHPSNY or another program) and are now interested in evaluating the conditions of collection materials on a more granular level.
