NEH Preservation Assistance Grants
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), Division of =
Preservation and Access, offers Preservation Assistance Grants that are =
intended to help small to midsize institutions gain funding for projects =
such as preservation assessments and storage supplies.  These are also a =
great way to start longer-term preservation efforts; for example, an =
institution which receives funding for a preservation assessment survey =
can then seek future grant funding to implement recommendations from the =
survey.
Awards are for $2,000, $3,000 or $5,000 and no cost sharing is required. =
Institutions that have never received an NEH grant are encouraged to =
apply.  Grant proposals are tentatively due May 16, 2005. Grant =
guidelines and forms should be available soon.   More information is =
available at: http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/pag.html
These grants have allowed historical societies and libraries, in Ohio =
and nationwide, to gain assistance with their preservation needs.  OCLC =
would be happy to assist interested libraries and historical societies =
in pursuing these grant opportunities.  We can review grant proposals or =
talk to you further about these opportunities.  If you are interested, =
please contact us at: lytlea@oclc.org or 800-848-5878 x 5212.
OCLC staff will be at OLC Spring 2005 Chapter meetings, giving a =
Disaster Plan workshop "Would've, Could've, Should've," and would be =
happy to talk with you further there.
