On May 27, 1994, the Museum’s Board of Trustees reinforced the Huntington’s vision and the Museum’s commitment to its collection when it adopted a new long-range plan that asserted that the collections were at the core of the Museum’s activities. It stated: "The collections are the wellspring of the institution's ability to illuminate historical fact with human data, to make the nation's and, by extension, the world's maritime heritage come alive with real objects, held, and used, and smoothed by human hands. They give all a sense of our past and a compass point for our future. They are the time capsules of generations of mariners and those who waited for them to return from the illimitable, unforgiving power of the sea. These objects from the past and those not yet invented move, often silently, through the universe of our knowledge and capture, regardless of how briefly or dimly, a momentary glimpse of how we arrived at our fleeting place in time and what we achieved during the journey. " With so much going into our current strategic planning, sometimes it's nice to look back and see where we're coming from! Keep up the great work, everyone!
