[Missy Lodge]

The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), in partnership with
Bank of America, announces the availability of the American Heritage
Preservation grants. The grants are intended to raise awareness and fund
preservation of treasures held in small museums, libraries and archives.
Grants will help to preserve specific items, including works of art,
artifacts and historical documents that are in need of conservation.
Applicants will build on completed conservation assessments of their
collections to ensure that the grants are used in accordance with best
practices in the field, and underscore the importance of assessment
planning. Grants of up to $3,000 are available for the purpose of
preserving specific items, including works of art, artifacts, and
historical documents that are in need of conservation. Projects in the
following areas are eligible for funding: treatment of library, museum,
and archival collections; improvement of collections storage; and
environmental improvement of collections. The application deadline is
September 15, 2009.  Additional information and grant guidelines are
available on the IMLS website at:
