  • 1.  Does anyone recognize this acronym? CACHA

    Posted 09-07-2024 02:48 PM
    I am writing the biography of James Leon Manzolillo who single handedly opened the Houston Maritime Museum in 2000. The board minutes dated January 15, 2002, indicate that they made an application for a grant from "CACHA" in 2002.
    I have not been able to find what this stands for.
    Does anyone recognize this acronym?

    Hello Pete--

    These Board Minutes may be referring to CCAHA Home | Conservation Center for Art & Historic Artifacts (ccaha.org) located in Philadelphia, PA. In addition to paper, book, and photo conservation, they provide access to collections resources, and partner on grants.

    I hope this helps!

    Best,
