| contents | Connecting to Collections in Florida: Current Conditions and Critical Needs in Libraries, Archives, and Museums Jorgensen, Corinne Marty, Paul F. Braun, Kathy Libraries Archives Cultural Background Museums Environmental Education Library Materials Researchers Surveys This article presents results from an IMLS-funded project to evaluate the current state of collections in Florida's libraries, archives, and museums, current practices to preserve and conserve these collections, and perceived needs to maintain and improve these collections for future generations. The survey, modeled after the Heritage Health Index national survey, demonstrated that many of Florida's collections are in desperate need of conservation and preservation and indicate a clear need for an increased effort to guarantee the continued safety of and access to these collections. In addition to providing data on Florida's collections, the results of this study have national implications that will help researchers, professionals, administrators, government agencies, and the general public better understand the nature of collecting agencies and the long-term requirements for the continued preservation and conservation of the nation's natural and cultural heritage.
