# A Public Trust at Risk: Findings of the Heritage Health Index

The Heritage Health Index, published in 2005, was the first survey to assess the condition of U.S. collections held by institutions, large and small, from internationally renowned art museums and research libraries to local historical societies and archives. Heritage Preservation, the country's leading conservation advocate, conducted the study in partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services. To date, 25,000 copies of A Public Trust at Risk: The Heritage Health Index Report on the State of America's Collections have been distributed, and the data has received national and international press attention.
