have used grant-funded projects to enhance the level of care they can provide for their collections, and sometimes even to jump-start their preservation programs. The Oregon State Historical Society will host “Creating and Funding Preservation Projects to
Enhance Collection Care”, a one-day workshop from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m., Aug. 1 at 1200 SW Park Ave., Portland. Register online at

workshop that begins with identifying and setting priorities among collection needs. With a clear sense of needs, the second part of the workshop reviews sources of grant funding available to your institution. The third part of the workshop addresses the key
preservation questions asked on grant applications - participants answer the questions on behalf of their institutions, building the elements of a proposal for their own collection. The workshop emphasizes working collaboratively with colleagues to develop
and receive feedback on project proposals. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

museums and archives, and those without grant writing experience specific to preservation will benefit from this workshop.
</span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Garamond','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Segoe UI'">By the end of the workshop day, participants will have outlined a preservation project proposal specific to their institution; identified possible funding
sources; and tested their ideas with other workshop participants. </span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Garamond','serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'">When possible, two attendees from an institution should attend
so they can work together on project development. By registering for the workshop, the institution commits to supporting the attendee(s) to achieve the workshop's goals to develop and submit proposals for preservation projects to enhance collection care.
