From museum collections and libraries to historic sites, universities, and scientific institutions, United States cultural heritage institutions safeguard the collective memory and resilience of society. These organizations collectively hold over one billion cultural and historic objects in public trust, with a shared mission to honor cultural traditions and to engage and educate within their communities and on a global scale. (Ref. IMLS, 2019, link)

Dedicated collection professionals protect, research, and exhibit these treasures for the 850 million annual visitors—surpassing attendance at all major league sporting events and amusement parks combined—while simultaneously engaging hundreds of millions more through digital platforms. (Ref. AAM, 2021, link) When communities maintain connections to their traditions, artifacts, and shared narratives, they develop resilience and identities that helps them address the challenges of the future, while maintaining their core values.

Memento Vitae actively supports this vital mission to preserve the heritage of all communities. As part of our commitment to cultural stewardship, we offer a limited number of pro bono projects annually to eligible non-profit organizations.
