About Top 10

About the Program

Virginia's Top 10 Endangered Artifacts program focuses on promoting awareness of collections care. Over five successful years, Top 10 has benefited over 100 organizations and their artifacts. Among the outcomes: museums have secured donors, volunteers, and grants for conservation support. Many of the nominated artifacts have been conserved or are currently undergoing conservation treatment. Learn more about the status of some of our Top 10 Endangered Artifacts.


Each year, the "Top 10" honorees are selected by a panel of collections and conservation experts from the Library of Virginia, Preservation Virginia, Virginia Conservation Association, Virginia Department of Historic Resources, and an independent conservator. Our "People's Choice Award" goes to the artifact collecting the most votes during our public voting campaign in August. Learn more about the program in our "Know Before You Nominate" section.
