Heritage Preservation, a national technical assistance organization, saw the need to assess the current state of historical and artistic collections in the U.S.
With funding from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), Heritage Preservation established the first Heritage Health Index.
I worked with RMC Research to develop a rich online survey mechanism, with a set of tools to improve participation.
The significant of the findings led to new funding programs. In 2014, Heritage Preservation conducted a second national survey. This time, the survey mechanism was updated using my MapForms data collection tools.
