Bill Summary

This resolve requires the Director of the Maine State Museum to work with relevant State authorities to develop a plan to identify 9,000 square feet of state-owned space, not in use by the Maine State Museum, to allow the museum to accept and preserve culturally and historically significant special collections that are related to the State.

AI Summary

This bill seeks to help the Maine State Museum expand its capacity to collect and preserve important historical artifacts by directing the museum's director to collaborate with state authorities to find 9,000 square feet of unused state-owned space that can be used for storing special collections. These special collections are defined as culturally and historically significant items specifically related to the state of Maine. The resolve is essentially a strategic planning measure that will enable the museum to better preserve and protect valuable historical materials by providing additional storage space that is currently not being utilized by the museum. By identifying and repurposing existing state-owned space, the bill offers a cost-effective solution to the museum's storage challenges, which will help ensure that important pieces of Maine's history can be properly maintained for current and future generations to study and appreciate.
