Preservation Assistance Grants

Preservation Assistance Grants for Smaller Institutions help small
and mid-sized institutions, such as libraries, museums, historical
societies, archival repositories, town and county records offices,
and colleges, improve their ability to preserve and care for their
humanities collections.  Awards of up to $6000 support preservation
related collection assessments, consultations, workshops and
training, and institutional and collaborative disaster and emergency
planning. Grants cover consultant fees, workshop registration fees,
related travel and per diem expenses, and the costs of purchasing
and shipping preservation supplies and equipment.

All applications to the NEH must be submitted through Grants.gov.
See the application guidelines for details.

The 2009 guidelines for Preservation Assistance Grants for Smaller
Institutions are available at

    <URL:http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/pag.html>

You will also find sample project descriptions, sample narratives,
and a list of frequently asked questions. The deadline for
applications is May 14, 2009.

Small and mid-sized institutions that have never received an NEH
grant are especially encouraged to apply.
