More about this organization
Mission
Funds conservation, conducts research, and interprets the significance of Mission San Xavier del Bac, a national historic landmark, in the community of Wa:k, near Tucson, Arizona.
About
Over the last four decades, $12 million has been raised and invested in: 1. The conservation of San Xavier del Bac, an historic Spanish colonial mission church (built between 1783 and 1797) and the ancillary buildings. Work includes: a. In the interior, the conservation and preservation of the original interior art which, following an initial cleaning and stabilization, requires ongoing maintenance treatments. b. On the exterior, removal of incompatible concrete-based plasters which had caused damage to the fired-adobe fabric of the building, and replacing with traditional lime plasters. c. Preservation of wooden elements throughout the structure to protect against insect and fungal damage, and damage created by exposure to sun and rain. 2. Maintaining a docent program to inform visitors about the history of the mission. This includes management of the small museum. 3. Funding an apprenticeship program, training young people in conservation and other related crafts. 4. Building an endowment to address on-going maintenance in perpetuity.
