Thousands of libraries, archives, museums, and historical organizations across the country maintain important collections of books and manuscripts, photographs, sound recordings and moving images, archaeological and ethnographic artifacts, art and material culture collections, electronic records, and digital objects. The challenge of preserving and making accessible such large and diverse holdings is enormous, and the need for knowledgeable staff is significant and ongoing.

These training grants aim to help staff of cultural institutions obtain the knowledge and skills needed to serve as effective stewards of humanities collections.

The application deadline is May 5 for projects beginning January 2016.
