["Julie Carlson NEDCC" <jcarlson@xxxxxxxxx>]

DEADLINE: MAY 15, 2006 for NEH Preservation Assistance Grants For Smaller 
Institutions.



The National Endowment for the Humanities Preservation Assistance Grant 
(PAG) program is still a best bet for collections care funding for smaller 
institutions. NEH awards grants of up to $5,000 on a non-matching basis to 
support the preservation of materials in smaller libraries, archives, 
museums, and historical organizations.



For application information and guidelines,

go to http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/pag.html
