2. TWO PRESERVATION GRANTS AVAILABLE FROM NEH
 
Applications are now available for two preservation grant programs of
the National Endowment for the Humanities.
 
Preservation Assistance Grants help small and mid-sized
institutions-such as libraries, museums, historical societies,
archival
repositories, cultural organizations, town and county records offices,
and colleges and universities-improve their ability to preserve and
care
for their significant humanities collections. Preservation Assistance
Grants may be used for general preservation assessments; consultations
with professionals to address a specific preservation issue, need, or
problem; purchase of storage furniture and preservation supplies;
purchase of environmental monitoring equipment for humanities
collections; and education and training.  The application deadline is
May 3.
      
Preservation and Access Education and Training grants help the staff
of
cultural institutions, large and small, obtain the knowledge and
skills
needed to serve as effective stewards of humanities collections.
Grants
also support educational programs that prepare the next generation of
conservators and preservation professionals, as well as projects that
introduce the staff of cultural institutions to new information and
advances in preservation and access practices. These grants, which
have
an application deadline of June 30, support:
-- regional preservation field services that provide a wide range of
education and training (for example, through surveys, workshops,
consultations, reference services, and informational materials about
the
care of humanities collections), especially for staff at smaller
libraries, museums, archives, and other cultural organizations;
-- workshops that address preservation and access topics of national
significance and broad impact, such as collections care training for
staff members who are responsible for the day-to-day care and
management
of humanities collections; preventive conservation and sustainable
preservation strategies; disaster preparedness, response, and
recovery;
the preservation of and provision of access to recorded sound and
moving
image collections; digital preservation; and best practices for
enhancing and integrating access to collections in libraries,
archives,
and museums.
