Support for mentorship and surveys

Deadline for the Upper Midwest Conservation Association's (UMCA)
Mentorship and Subsidized Survey Programs is January 18, 2002.

These programs are offered through a grant from the National
Endowment for the Humanities and are available to museums in Iowa,
Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

The Mentorship program will provide assistance with a specific,
collections-related, conservation project over a two-year period,
which will include two personal visits from a conservator and
phone/e-mail consultations. This program is offered at no cost to
accepted institutions.

The Subsidized Survey program will provide for a survey of an
institution's collections for a greatly reduced cost--institutions
will pay only $400 for the survey and report plus $350 for travel,
food and accommodations for the visiting conservator.

Please contact Melinda Markell, Field Services Coordinator, at
612-870-3128 for more details and applications.  UMCA will accept
Faxed applications.
