Due August 15, 2024
Grant Program
Contract period for each awarded project will run:

The State Library of Ohio, in partnership with the Ohio Preservation Council (OPC), is pleased to announce the availability of LSTA funds<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://library.ohio.gov/libraries/grants/conservation-and-preservation-grant/__;!!KGKeukY!xR1BwRVyjjxacf4AczecDh6wL91syLQfuCTs-z8QpOdBZOiKxE_YGDLh58z7OvjwRKgeeo53jEsY79EqSz1EDaz1UabcVzSZmQ$> of up to $4,999 for libraries to conserve a single item or preserve a small, discrete group of items within their collections. The item(s) selected for conservation/preservation should be unique, valuable (culturally or monetarily), and as a cultural artifact speak to the mission and values of the applying institution. Additionally, as a cultural artifact or collection it should reflect some element of the historic and artistic record of Ohio. This is in accordance with goals outlined in The State Library of Ohio's Five Year LSTA Plan. All analog formats, including book and paper, object, and artwork are appropriate.

Under this special program, prospective applicants must attend the workshop on May8, 2024 prior to submitting a grant application. This workshop will prepare applying institutions for submitting a successful application. By attending the workshop, prospective applicants will gain knowledge of the criteria for selecting materials for conservation/preservation, basic evaluation considerations, finding a conservator, working with conservators, contracts and insurance, and treatment documentation.
