NEH Preservation Assistance Grants

The U.S. National Endowment for the Humanities and the Division of
Preservation and Access announce the 2010 deadline for Preservation
Assistance Grants for Smaller Institutions. These grants help small
and mid-sized institutions, such as libraries, museums, historical
societies, archival repositories, town and county records offices,
and colleges and universities, improve their ability to preserve and
care for their humanities collections.  Awards of up to $6000
support preservation related collection assessments, consultations,
training and workshops, 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.

U.S. nonprofit organizations are eligible, as are U.S. state and
local governmental agencies and tribal governments. Individuals are
not eligible to apply.

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

Institutions are available at

You will also find sample project descriptions, sample narratives,
and a list of frequently asked questions. The deadline for
applications is May 18, 2010.

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