NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES
DIVISION OF PRESERVATION AND ACCESS
The National Endowment for the Humanities' Division of Preservation and
Access has offered Preservation Assistance Grants for Smaller Institutions
for more than a decade. These grants help small and mid-sized cultural
heritage institutions such as libraries, museums, historical societies,
archival repositories, town and county records offices, and colleges and
universities improve their ability to preserve and care for their humanities
collections. Awards of up to $6000 support preservation related collection
assessments, consultations, training and workshops, and institutional and
collaborative disaster and emergency planning. Preservation Assistance
Grants also support education and training in best practices for sustaining
digital collections, standards for digital preservation, and the care and
handling of collections during digitization. Institutions may request funds
for a preservation assessment of digital collections. NEH does not fund
digitization or the development of digital programs in this grant category.
All applications to the NEH must be submitted through Grants.gov. See the
application guidelines for details.
The 2011 guidelines for Preservation Assistance Grants for Smaller
Institutions are available at
<http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/pag.html>
http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/pag.html. You will also find sample
project descriptions, sample narratives, and a list of frequently asked
questions. The deadline for applications is May 3, 2011.
Small and mid-sized institutions that have never received an NEH grant and
those considering projects in digital preservation are especially encouraged
to apply.
