[PADG:1740] Re: preservation endowments

["Jackie Zak" <JZak@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Whitney,

If you haven't already, you might be interested in taking a look
at the Getty Grant Program's web page at http://www.getty.edu/grants

Good luck with your project.

Best wishes,

As I alerted those attending the PADG meeting in Atlanta, I'm writing to 
you for some help.

I am gathering information about U.S. institution-based endowments funding 
preservation work.  If your institution or one you know of has any such 
endowment, I would love an e-mail with this information, including the 
appropriate person to contact at that institution.

I'll be contacting those institutions with a questionnaire to find out more 
about what the sources of the endowment were and how the endowment income 
is used.  I'm hoping to present this information to the preservation and 
broader library community in an article that Eric Shoaf and I will submit 
for publication in Advances in Librarianship.

Please respond with any endowment information you're aware of and help me 
provide information and inspiration to institutions wishing to build 
endowments, as well as fresh ideas for institutions with existing endowments.

Thanks!

Whitney Pape
