Let Heritage Arsenal, a member of the American Alliance of Museums, provide expert consultation services to help you chart a way forward based on your stated goals and objectives. Maybe you need assistance with exhibit design, establishing systems, drafting a Collection Plan, or building compliant artifact storage?
Leverage Heritage Arsenal's world-wide global network to locate impactful, one-of-a-kind artifacts that fill the gaps in your current collection. Build a captivating exhibit that leaves a strong impression on your visitors or effectively commemorates a unit, battle, or event with a thoughtful, comprehensive display.
Exercise sound stewardship by refining your collection through discrete deaccession of less impactful artifacts or your duplicates.
Relieve your institution from expensive storage costs and labor-intensive inventory while generating revenue to reinvest in your collection. Foundational to this service is adherence to the ethics and best practices established by the American Alliance of Museums.
Enable your affiliated non-profit to generate a residual revenue stream for your museum through the donation of military mementos to the non-profit as gifts-in-kind. This service results in targeted donor lists that can inform future fundraising.
From small Veteran Tributes to complex multimedia exhibits, Heritage Arsenal has the track record, and the unique Veteran perspective, to be your design partner for your next military history project.
Heritage Arsenal served as the design lead for an extensive, multi-generational exhibit that honors an Arizona survivor - Donald G. Stratton - the battleship itself, and America's participation in the Pacific Theater during the Second World War. The exhibit, organized by El Paso County, Colorado, currently resides at the Colorado Springs airport.
"We wouldn't have gotten there without [Heritage Arsenal]. Their expertise and 'world-class network' of museum curators, historians and the like were critical." -
Stan Vanderwerf, El Paso County Colorado Commissioner
Speaking about the Don Stratton Pearl Harbor Exhibit
Heritage Arsenal has collaborated with Evanhoe and Associates of Dayton, Ohio, a world leader in RFID and asset tracking and management, to create MuseumAware.
MuseumAware is the only archival software in existence that gives equal weight to the story of an artifact as well as the associated Service Member.
Museum Aware:
Evanhoe and Associates renovated the Air Force logistics system and currently is entrusted with asset tracking and management for the entire US Patent and Trademark Office.
Do you know that your family member served in the military but that's about it? Do you have paperwork, documents, or photographs, but don't understand what they mean? We can interpret the clues related to your Veteran's service to help you understand their story.
We can take that research one step further and create a fitting tribute that uses correct, vintage (not reproduced) awards, decorations and insignia. Share your Veteran's story with the next generation.
Are you overwhelmed by the amount of military effects affiliated with your Veteran's service? Museums are rarely accepting new artifact donations these days due to overwhelming storage costs. You don't want to throw the objects away, but you don't know what to do with them. Call us to discuss what options exist that best fit your family's intent.
When your Veteran passes, it is a difficult time. If you are preparing for the funeral and your Veteran will be buried in uniform, call Heritage Arsenal if you have concerns as to whether their uniform is correct. We can consult, create, and ship ribbon racks to you or the Funeral Director in a timely fashion.
Looking to honor Veterans associated with your business or to connect with the Veteran community? Consider creating a historical exhibit. We have options for a variety of budgets. Visit the gallery below to see some of our work.
