[padg] [Fwd: Fw: RE: Preservation Funding]

[Andrew Hart <ashart@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The ALA Washington Office needs examples of the impact of 2007 grants 
from the NEH Division of Preservation and Access to illustrate the 
consequence of a deep budget cut under consideration (see below). Please 
help by sending your ideas either directly to Emily Sheketoff 
<esheketoff@xxxxxxxxxxx> or to me by email. Or, if you are attending the 
ALA Annual conference this weekend, talk with a member of the PARS 
Executive Committee (Andy Hart, Walter Cybulski, Jean Ann Croft, Nancy 
Kraft, Karen Brown, Kate Contakos). Shortly after the conference PARS 
will send to the Washington Office all of the examples we are able to 
gather.

Thanks,
Andy

Subject: Preservation Funding

> In the Interior Subcommittee Appropriations mark up, NEH's Division 
of Preservation and Access got cut $4.5 million from the President's 
request, which means a 50% in that division.
>  
> We are trying to get the funding restored.
>  
> We need examples of 2007 grants and the impact that grant funding has 
on real people.  For example, with the current floods, what does having 
items from your collections preserved mean to your communities?
>  
> We need ammunition for these conversations.  Can anyone help with 
photos, stories or hard information?  We know nothing about 2007 grants 
and we know nothing about impact of these grants.
