NEDCC receives NEH grant for preservation services

The Northeast Document Conservation Center
<URL:http://www.nedcc.org> is pleased to announce that it has been
awarded a grant of $500,000 from the National Endowment for the
Humanities (NEH) to help support its Preservation Services
activities over the next two years.

The NEH funding will help enhance NEDCC's capacity to deliver
preservation information to smaller organizations impacted by the
economic downturn.

NEDCC has responded to the needs of these organizations by
increasing its offerings of convenient and affordable preservation
training programs and expanding its digital services to encompass
training and consultation.

By helping institutions better understand and address their
preservation challenges - through workshops, webinars, a reference
service, disaster assistance, publications, surveys and
consultations, and a comprehensive website - NEDCC is poised to help
institutions preserve their vital humanities collections in these
tough economic times.

NEDCC is a nonprofit organization that relies on federal grants like
this one, as well as generous contributions from individuals,
foundations, and other sponsors, to help sustain the variety of free
and low-cost preservation services and resources that you depend on.
