Description
The Book and Paper specialty group of the American Institute for Conservation provides funds towards the preparation for publication of a completed monograph on an area of interest to the Book and Paper Group. Up to $3,000 will be awarded to defray the costs of the final preparation of the monograph, such as copy editing, indexing, and image reproduction rights. The funds for this grant are non-renewable and when the principle is depleted no more grants will be awarded.
