TestimonialYou may not realize the Purchasing CO-OP has some of the best bargains on conservation supplies. "It's kind of nice because you can sit in your chair, order from MPMA’s list of products and your boss is ecstatic because you saved the museum a load of money," said Jenny Yearous, Curator of Collections Management, State Historical Society of North Dakota. Here is what Jenny saved on a recent project: Value of items purchased: $4286.55 Total spent to date: $2095.22 Total savings $2191.33 “It is official: I have now saved more than I have spent... the savings have definitely paid for our MPMA membership for the next couple of years. I will definitely use the CO-OP again and will tell my friends about it." About the Purchasing CO-OPOur thanks to CWAM (Colorado-Wyoming Association of Museums) for being a great partner and having the foresight to start the Purchasing CO-OP! Since the 1990s, the Purchasing CO-OP has been a leading shopping destination for collections-care products for museums. Our goal is to help institutions save money. We do this by providing collections managers, registrars, curators and directors a quick and easy way to find and purchase acid-free products and more from reputable conservation-oriented businesses. Our CO-OP offers the deepest discounts on choice products because we set up a bid process to get companies to compete for items. No one else has a bidding process like ours, and yet this is the ONLY way to get deeper discounts. We thank our CWAM colleagues for starting the CO-OP and inviting us to join. | In This SectionQuick Links |
