The 2016 deadline for Preservation Assistance Grants for Smaller Institutions (for projects beginning in January 2017) is May 3, 2016. It’s time to start planning your project now!
Preservation Assistance Grants provide up to $6,000 for small and mid-sized institutions such as libraries, museums, historical societies, archival repositories, cultural organizations, town and county records offices, and colleges and universities, to improve collections care within their organization. Activities may include activities including preservation assessments, purchase of storage furniture, preservation supplies, and environmental monitoring equipment, education and training, and more.

February 15, 2016, 11:00am – 12:00pm EST
