Here's
a new way that you can support Nauticus and the
Battleship Wisconsin – by voting for us today through September 20th in
Virginia's Top Ten Endangered Artifacts campaign!
This new campaign is designed to create awareness of the importance of
preserving artifacts in care at museums, libraries and archives throughout the
commonwealth and in the District of Columbia, and we're taking part.
Collecting institutions from across Virginia and DC have nominated items that
they believe tell a significant story and deserve to be recognized on this
prestigious "Top 10 List." These items may be ones that are currently
being conserved, have a plan to be conserved or are simply in need of
conservation. The campaign showcases the importance of Virginia's diverse
history, heritage and culture and the role that artifacts play in telling those
stories.
Nauticus has nominated the Battleship Wisconsin in
this competition and we need your help to make the list. Please show your
support of Nauticus by voting for the Battleship
Wisconsin by visiting https://spreadsheets.googl
Nominations will be reviewed by an independent panel of collections and
conservation experts, and "winning" entries will be announced in
November 2011. The public voting will be considered by the panel as they make
their final selections.
"Conservation is a vital component of our mission, and Virginia's Top 10
campaign offers an interactive opportunity for supporters of Nauticus to become engaged in bringing the importance of
this mission into the public spotlight," said Hank Lynch, executive
director of Nauticus.
