| Description: | The primary mission of the NPS is to conserve unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of the National Park System for the enjoyment of present and future generations. The NPS is responsible for the preservation in perpetuity of a wide-range of cultural resources including museum objects, building systems, and in situ material subject to extreme environmental conditions such as fluctuating temperature and relative humidity, sub-tropical climates, marine environments, hurricanes, storms and other natural disasters, general weather conditions and accelerated deterioration of historic fabric due to historic or recent uses of incompatible materials. Effective management of NPS cultural resources often requires inter-disciplinary approaches, experimentation, and cutting-edge research and documentation. Castillo de San Marcos has a large collection of 17th, 18th, and 19th century artillery as part of its museum collection. This project will assist the park in caring for these important cultural resources. The objective of this project is to conserve museum collection artillery on display at Castillo de San Marcos and Fort Matanzas National Monuments. Throughout this project, 28 iron cannons located at Castillo de San Marcos and Fort Matanzas will receive treatments to improve the long-term care of these museum pieces. |
