The mission of the Alabama Cultural Commons is to identify the location and condition of Alabama’s heritage collections and develop a plan of action that meets their preservation needs.
In the future, the Alabama Cultural Commons will ensure the long-term preservation of the rich natural and cultural heritage housed in the many cultural institutions across the state. The intent is to achieve the mission by overseeing the implementation of a statewide collections preservation plan, providing training opportunities and resource materials to support the preservation goal, and build public awareness about the challenges facing the cultural institutions in caring for the state’s heritage collections.
