Sustaining Cultural Heritage Collections grants are available to
U.S. nonprofit museums, libraries, and archives, as well as state
and local governmental agencies and tribal governments with
humanities collections to plan and implement preventive conservation
projects. A growing body of research suggests that institutions can
develop effective, energy-efficient, and environmentally sensitive
preservation measures, particularly for managing the environmental
conditions under which collections are stored or exhibited.
Therefore, NEH encourages projects that explore and implement
sustainable preservation measures that balance preservation
effectiveness, cost, and environmental impact and that are designed
to mitigate the greatest risks to collections rather than to meet
prescriptive targets. Planning grants of up to $40,000 and
implementation grants of up to $400,000 are available.
