How do you move a History Center?
Very carefully!
The Sarasota County History Center teamed up with Displays Fine Art Services out of Dallas, Texas to pack and move the collection from the old Porter Way location to two secure, environmentally appropriate storage facilities.
Every box has been carefully labeled to ensure it finds its proper home in storage. Even the 800-pound marble stele of Bertha Palmer got its own special crate!
Once the move is complete, researchers will be able to request collection materials and have them delivered to the new research room in Osprey. Visit the History Center website scgov.net/history for more details.
