See link above for information on American Heritage Preservation Grants. Th
e purpose of the American Heritage Preservation Grants program is to raise
awareness and fund preservation of treasures held in small and mid-sized mu
seums, libraries and archives that convey the essential character and exper
ience of the United States. These artifacts can be of diverse origin, but
should have significance in the heritage of the community in which they are
now held. Grants will provide funds to preserve specific items, including
works of art, rare books, scientific specimens and historical documents (ph
otographs, maps, deeds, etc.) that are in need of conservation. These fund
s are not intended to fund a small portion of a larger project, but are aim
ed at completing a stand-alone conservation project.
