IMLS preservation grant

Applications are now being circulated among Department of Interior
agencies to submit projects for grants to preserve nationally
significant intellectual and cultural artifacts and historic
structures and sites from $30 Million that has been appropriated for
Save Americas Treasures.  The Institute for Museum and Library
Services (IMLS) is seeking projects for consideration to submit on
behalf of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), National
Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and IMLS.  Awards will range from
$50,000 to $3,000,000.  This is the first major new program in
support of cultural institutions in a decade and is a wonderful
opportunity to help preserve collections and structures.  The
application is available on the IMLS web site at
<URL:http://www.imls.fed.us/> under whats new.  Applications are due
to IMLS by February 1.
