[OPLINLIST] Bank of America/IMLS American Heritage Preservation Program Guidelines Announced

[Missy Lodge]

The State Library of Ohio encourages libraries to consider applying for 

an American Heritage Preservation Program grant.

 

The Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Bank of America

Charitable Foundation has just announced the 2009 guidelines for

the American Heritage Preservation Program. This new public-private

partnership will fund the preservation of endangered and fragile art

works, rare books, scientific specimens, and historical documents

(photographs, maps, deeds, etc.) held in small and medium-sized museums,

archives, and libraries. To access application guidelines instructions,

please visit http://www.imls.gov/collections/grants/boa.htm 

 

The grants of up to $3,000 are aimed at completing stand-alone

conservation projects that convey the essential character and experience

of the United States. Examples of previously funded projects include
treatment 

and stabilization of a quilt held in a library's local history room,
purchase of acid files 

and folders for an early 20th century class photo collection, and
stabilization and 

treatment of a collection of 19th century deeds and maps.  

 

For questions about library or archival projects, please contact Susan

Malbin, Senior Program Officer, at 202-653-4768.

 

The deadline for application is September 15, 2008. IMLS and Bank of

America will notify applicants of final decisions in January 2009, with

projects to begin no earlier than February 1, 2009.

 

If you have general grantwriting questions or would like someone from
the State Library to 

review your proposal, please feel free to contact the Library Programs
and Development Office.
