The PMA plans to double the collection storage capability while upgrading defenses against heat, water, condensation, and insects. By enlarging and protecting its vault space, the PMA ensures its target audience that objects and paintings can be stored and retrieved easily and safely, and be environmentally protected. The new software program will make it easier to find artwork in the newly designed storage vaults. A child or parent will easily understand the new cataloging system with descriptions of each painting or object and its importance and relevance to a diverse population in the two counties. The descriptions will be available for viewing online, facilitating and increasing the number of pieces of artwork loaned to other museums. During the last accreditation inspection, performed by the American Alliance of Museums (AAM), it was noted that to maintain accreditation, PMA would need to upgrade its HVAC system and storage to ensure art would be stored at appropriate temperature and humidity levels to ensure longevity of the artwork. PMA has been warned that if the changes to these systems are not made, they will lose accreditation. The accreditation process occurs every 10 years and PMA’s next accreditation process will begin June 2016. The AAM will review in September 2018, and a final accreditation decision will be made by AAM in December 2019.
