Our Mission
To strengthen and support unit-level and pan-Institutional collections emergency policy, procedures, training, and logistics. Serving as a leadership committee that has the flexibility to draw upon a team of Smithsonian-wide subject-matter experts who can assist in an emergency, PRICE collaborates with Smithsonian units, including the Smithsonian Cultural Rescue Initiative (SCRI), the Office of Emergency Management (OEM), and the Office of Safety, Health, and Environmental Management (OSHEM) to create and disseminate information to Smithsonian staff.
Our Purpose
To advise and provide subject-matter expertise, consultation, and assistance to the National Collections Program, Smithsonian collecting units, and Smithsonian senior management and, when activated, provide collections support, response, and recovery as requested by NCP as part of the Smithsonian’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC).
