Since 2001, the NH Conservation License Plate (Moose Plate) program has contributed to the ongoing success of more than 150 projects around New Hampshire. Every county has benefited from the funds raised through the sale of Moose Plates.
In 2011 Portsmouth Historical Society received $20,000 for the installation of conservation lighting in the galleries of the Discover Portsmouth Center to improve public access to artworks while protecting or preserving the historic fabric or function of this cultural facility. The Discover Portsmouth Center is housed in the former Portsmouth Public Library which has been transformed into an exhibition and performance facility which serves both visitors to and residents of Portsmouth.
