[marshams at library.ohio.gov]

Please excuse multiple postings...


The State Library of Ohio in partnership with the Ohio Preservation Council (OPC) is pleased to announce the availability of LSTA funds 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 artefact speak to the mission and values of the applying institution. All analog formats, including book and paper, object, and artwork are appropriate.

Under this special program, prospective applicants must attend a 3 hour OPC class at the State Library of Ohio on June 16th that will prepare them for submitting a successful application.  Prospective applicants will leave the class with a 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.

Please review the Request for Proposal to determine if this program is appropriate for your institution.  The RFP can be found at: https://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/lsta-grants/#AvailableGrants.  Registration for the Special Collections Conservation Class opens April 5 and will be announced on this listserv.
