Preservation Assistance Grants, awarded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), help small and mid-sized institutions, such as libraries, historical societies, and archival repositories, improve their ability to preserve and care for their significant humanities collections. These may include special collections of books and journals, archives and manuscripts, prints and photographs, moving images, sound recordings, architectural and cartographic records, decorative and fine art objects, textiles, archaeological and ethnographic artifacts, furniture, historical objects, and digital materials.
Applicants must draw on the knowledge of consultants whose preservation skills and experience are related to the types of collections and the nature of the activities that are the focus of their projects. Small and mid-sized institutions that have never received an NEH grant are especially encouraged to apply. A free webinar will be held on Thursday, March 14, 2013, 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. PDT to provide guidance on preparing Preservation Assistance Grant applications. Seating is limited. Register online for free. For additional information and grant application materials, go this website. The deadline to submit applications isfor projects beginning January 2014.
