What is the schedule for doing CAP assessments?
CAP participants contact and hire assessors between October and February. Site visits can be scheduled anytime after January 1 of the program year. The site visit cannot take place until all required materials are submitted to Heritage Preservation by the participating organization and approved by Heritage Preservation. The institution and assessor determine the date of the site visit as well as the due dates for the rough draft and final report. Normally, a rough draft is sent to the museum within eight weeks of the site visit. It is very important that this schedule is followed. Many museums use the recommendations outlined in the report to secure funding for preservation projects. All assessments and final reports must be completed by November 1 of the program year.
