Greetings, I'm willing and interested in serving as a grant reviewer for the American Heritage Preservation Grants. My resume is attached. ********************************************** Kevin Driedger Cataloger/Collections Conservator Library of Michigan 702 W. Kalamazoo P.O. Box 30007 Lansing, MI 48909 517-373-9440 >>> <chenry@xxxxxxxx> 9/12/2008 10:20:48 AM >>> Call for IMLS Conservation Reviewers Are you interested in sharing your knowledge of collections care and treatment? Are you searching for an opportunity to give back to the field? Would you like to be part of a community of conservation professionals helping to evaluate applications and shape IMLS programs? Then this is the perfect opportunity for you! IMLS is looking for conservation professionals to review applications from two grant programs this fall and provide feedback on the process. Reviewers with expertise in the treatment and care of all types of collections held in stewardship in museums, libraries, and archives are needed to provide technical analysis and constructive feedback to applicants. If this describes you, IMLS would like you to apply to be a reviewer. Each field reviewer is sent between 7-10 applications to review based on your areas of expertise. Reviews are completed using our online system which is accessible on the web, so you can review whenever it fits into your schedule. If you have previously been a reviewer for IMLS but haven’t reviewed in a while or have been thinking about reviewing but have not yet signed up, now is the time to let us know you are interested. Here is a synopsis of the two programs: American Heritage Preservation Grants— grants of up to $3,000 to raise awareness and fund preservation of treasures held in small and mid-sized museums, libraries and archives for one of three project types: treatment of library, museum and archival collections; improvement of collections storage; environmental improvement of collections. Review Period: October 28-November 30 Honorarium: $200 Conservation Project Support Grants— matching grants from $5,000-$150,000 to help museums identify conservation needs and priorities and perform activities to ensure the safekeeping of all types of collections (nonliving, natural history/anthropology, living plants, living animals) Projects fall into one of four general areas: surveys of collections, improvement of collections environment, treatment of collections, and training proposals. Review Period: November 15-December 18 Honorarium: $200 If you are interested in reviewing for either of these programs, please send your resume and which program(s) you are interested in to Christine Henry, Senior Program Officer at IMLS, chenry@xxxxxxxx and if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to call me at (202) 653-4674. Thanks for your service to the field! _______________________________________________________ Christine Henry Senior Program Officer Office of Museum Services Institute of Museum and Library Services 1800 M Street NW, 9th Floor Washington, DC 20036-5802 Phone: 202-653-4674 Fax: 202-653-4608 chenry@xxxxxxxx Visit www.imls.gov to learn more about the Institute’s programs, news, and initiatives; and to sign up for Primary Source, our monthly e-newsletter.
