Institutions



NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES

DIVISION OF PRESERVATION AND ACCESS



Preservation Assistance Grants for Smaller Institutions help small and
mid-sized institutions, such as libraries, museums, historical societies,
archival repositories, town and county records offices, and colleges and
universities, improve their ability to preserve and care for their
humanities collections.  Awards of up to $6000 support preservation related
collection assessments, consultations, training and workshops, and
institutional and collaborative disaster and emergency planning. Grants
cover consultant fees, workshop registration fees, related travel and per
diem expenses, and the costs of purchasing and shipping preservation
supplies and equipment.



NEH has recently expanded of the kind of training that Preservation
Assistance Grants supports.  In addition to general preservation workshops,
these grants will support education and training in digital best practices
and the management and preservation of digital resources.



All applications to the NEH must be submitted through Grants.gov. See the
application guidelines for details.



The 2010 guidelines for Preservation Assistance Grants for Smaller
Institutions are available at
http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/pag.html. You will also find sample
project descriptions, sample narratives, and a list of frequently asked
questions. The deadline for applications is May 18, 2010.



U.S. nonprofit organizations are eligible, as are state and local
governmental agencies and tribal governments. Individuals are not eligible
to apply.



Small and mid-sized institutions that have never received an NEH grant are
especially encouraged to apply.



For more information, contact the staff of NEH's Division of Preservation
and Access at 202-606-8570 and preservation at neh.gov.
