Pacific Science Center –
Discovering the Dead Sea Scrolls
PRA provided collections management services for a traveling exhibit to meet the standards of the Israeli Antiquities Authority. We completed condition reports for non-scroll artifacts as the collection was installed, provided monthly condition monitoring for these artifacts while on exhibit, and provided assistance with exhibit deinstallation condition reporting in preparation for shipment to the next venue.
Wyoming State Museum and Archives
We conducted a facilities assessment for three collections storage locations in use by the Wyoming State Museum and Wyoming State Archives. The assessment included review of facility systems and storage equipment as well as an estimation of collections growth for the next 25 years. Our report was submitted to the State Building Commission to aid in evaluating options for planning new or renovated facilities.
Vashon-Maury Island Heritage Association
We provided basic facility and collections assessment services to help the VMIHA prioritize future collections care and facility improvements. Our report provided a foundation for successful future grant funding requests. This project was funded in part by a Humanities Washington Quick Grant.

Capital Project Planning by a State Agency
In response to Executive Order 05-05 requirements, PRA
conducted archaeological monitoring during exploratory
geotechnical work adjacent to the Washington State Historical
Society Research Center in Tacoma’s historic Stadium District.
As a state agency considering a capital project, WSHS complied
with EO 05-05 in the conceptual stages of the project.
SRFB Funded Projects
PRA has assisted a variety of SRFB (Salmon Recovery Funding
Board) funded projects with meeting the requirements of Executive
Order 05-05. EO 05-05 compliance is required as these grant
funds originate with Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO),
a state agency.
Other State Grant Projects
The City of Auburn received grant funds from Washington State
Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) to construct the Auburn
Environmental Park Birding Tower. PRA assessed the cultural
impacts of building an elevated birding observation deck for
viewing wildlife within the park’s wetlands and conducted limited
construction monitoring during trenching.
