Talk Story micro-grant program for sharing AANHPI and AIAN stories
Talk Story Grants: Sharing Stories, Sharing Culture
Deadline: March 15, 2024
The American Indian Library Association and the Asian Pacific American Librarians Association are offering four $500 micro-grants, for the Talk Story: Sharing Stories, Sharing Culture<http://www.apalaweb.org/talkstorytogether/grant/> program. This family literacy initiative connects Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander (AANHPI), and American Indigenous or Alaskan Native (AIAN) communities across generations. The Talk Story micro-grant program celebrates and explores AANHPI and AIAN stories through books, oral traditions, and cultural arts to provide interactive and enriching experiences for all ages. This grant provides financial support to libraries and community organizations who are motivated to promote intergenerational literacy through programming, services, and collections. Talk Story programs may be conducted in-person or virtually.
Libraries, archives, museums, and community organizations that serve AANHPI and/or AIAN children and their families are eligible to apply. With the exception of cross-border tribal organizations, all organizations must be based in the United States or U.S. territories.

Technical Preservation Services Webinars
Advanced Training for Frequent Program Users<https://www.nps.gov/orgs/1739/webinars.htm#advanced>
Technical Preservation Services will reprise the September 26, 2023, in-person Advanced Training for Frequent Tax Incentives Program Users virtually through a series of five public webinars. These webinars focus on how the NPS and SHPOs review Historic Preservation Certification Applications (HPCAs) so that applicants may better anticipate questions and avoid incomplete applications, applications being put on hold for more information, additional conditions of approval, problematic treatment issues that can delay review of projects, and the main reasons projects go awry at the Part 3 stage.
This training was developed for consultants, architects, developers, and other frequent program users and is intended as advanced training for those already well familiar with the program and NPS certification requirements. This training is not on the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation but focused on the HPCA application process and submission requirements. A separate, companion training specifically on the Rehabilitation Standards is planned in the future.
Registration information will be shared as soon as it becomes available and will also be posted on the TPS website<https://www.nps.gov/orgs/1739/webinars.htm>.
Use of Substitute Materials on Historic Building Exteriors<https://www.nps.gov/orgs/1739/webinars.htm#substitute>
Technical Preservation Services will host a webinar on the application of Preservation Brief 16: The Use of Substitute Materials on Historic Building Exteriors<https://www.nps.gov/orgs/1739/upload/preservation-brief-16-substitute-materials-2023.pdf>, on February 22, 2024, 2:00-3:30pm ET. This webinar will cover the recent guidance updates published in October 2023<https://www.nps.gov/subjects/taxincentives/planning-successful-rehabilitation.htm>, including considerations for the appropriate use of substitute materials with case study examples. Register for the webinar on February 22, 2024, 2:00-3:30pm ET

Collection Assessment Program application deadline Feb. 28
The Collections Assessment for Preservation (CAP) program provides small and mid-sized museums with partial funding toward a general conservation assessment. The assessment is a study of all of the institution's collections, buildings, and building systems, as well as its policies and procedures relating to collections care. Participants who complete the program receive an assessment report with prioritized recommendations to improve collections care. CAP is often a first step for small institutions that wish to improve the condition of their collections.
Applications for the 2024 CAP program are now open with a deadline of February 28th.
