CREATE (Cultural Resources, Engagement, Academics, Technology, and Enrichment) grants are designed to enhance learning and engagement at UM by facilitating close collaboration and resource-sharing. Awards made under this program are intended to promote the integration of objects in the University of Miami’s Libraries and Lowe Art Museum’s permanent collections into object-centered teaching, learning, and scholarship.

The Preservation Strategies team, which includes a Mellon Foundation grant funded conservator and visiting faculty member, supports the CREATE grant program by providing expertise in the treatment of condition-problems in a wide variety of media—such as culturally significant works housed by the Libraries’ distinctive collections and the Lowe—and readying materials for digitization and handling by researchers.
