The museum had cases with drawers made in 2005 to add to the dimension of the exhibit room. This way more items can be displayed and viewed by the public. Even though the case is not as tall, it was felt that different heights could still be used to add depth.

Gauges are used to measure the temperature and relative humidity of the museum. Temperatures that are too high or too low can destroy objects. The recommended temperature range is from 20°C to 25°C. As well, the recommended relative humidity is between 35% to 60% in order to keep items moist, but not allow them to mould.

On the right side of the case there is a pair of native leather gloves. These gloves were conserved and cleaned by a contracted professional conservator. The museum does conservation of objects to keep them from deteriorating. The left side of this drawer contains a cover made by Heather Youngchief for the paper in which she did a study of Millet's Native Culture. The project, Reading the Community: Literacy Through Heritage Project was completed under the museum's mentoring and research materials that were provided.
