Grants for Smaller Institutions

Deadline: May 16, 2005

NEH Preservation Assistance Grants for Smaller Institutions help small
and mid-size institutions, such as libraries, museums, and historical
societies, archival repositories, town and county records offices, and
colleges, improve their ability to preserve and care for their
humanities collections. These may include special collections of books
and journals, archives and manuscripts, prints and photographs, moving
images, sound recordings, architectural and cartographic records,
decorative and fine arts, textiles, archaeological and ethnographic
artifacts, furniture, and historical objects. 

 

Awards of up to $5000 provide support for preservation assessments,
consultations, attendance at preservation workshops, and the purchase of
preservation supplies and equipment. NEH funds may be used to pay
consultant fees, workshop registration fees, travel and per diem
expenses, and the costs of purchasing and shipping preservation supplies
and equipment. No cost sharing is required. All grants are awarded for a
period of eighteen months.
