<p class="MsoNormal"><b>GRANTS SUPPORT COLLECTIONS PRESERVATION NEEDS ASSESSMENTS<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Conservation Center for Art & Historic Artifacts is seeking applicants for its Preservation Needs Assessment Program. With funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities, CCAHA offers a limited number of subsidized preservation
needs assessments. Awarded institutions will pay $350 for services valued at over $5,000.<br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A preservation needs assessment is a key first step in the process of caring for collections. In addition to pinpointing areas of concern, the preservation needs assessment is widely recognized as a valuable tool in fundraising. Many funders
strongly recommend that potential applicants cite the findings of these assessments within their grant applications for conservation and preservation projects.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The preservation needs assessment process encompasses a general evaluation of the institution's preservation needs for its collections, including preservation planning and policy development; collections management; environment (temperature,
relative humidity, pollution, and light); housekeeping; pest control; fire protection, security, and disaster preparedness; and collection storage, handling, exhibition, and treatment.<o:p></o:p></p>
