PRESERVATION ASSISTANCE GRANTS FOR SMALLER INSTITUTIONS
GUIDELINES NOW AVAILABLE!
The National Endowment for the Humanities’ Division of Preservation and A
ccess has offered Preservation Assistance Grants for Smaller Institutions s
ince 2000. These grants help small and mid-sized cultural heritage institut
ions such as libraries, museums, historical societies, archival repositorie
s, town and county records offices, and colleges and universities improve t
heir ability to preserve and care for their humanities collections. Awards
of up to $6,000 support preservation related collection assessments, consu
ltations, purchase of preservation supplies and equipment, training and wor
kshops, and institutional and collaborative disaster and emergency planning
. (Applicants may request up to $7,000 if the project would support emergi
ng professionals). Preservation Assistance Grants also support assessments
of digital collections and education and training in standards and best pr
actices for digital preservation, and the care and handling of collections
during digitization. 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 a
pplication guidelines for details.
The 2017 guidelines for Preservation Assistance Grants for Smaller Institut
ions are available at https://www.neh.gov/grants/preservation/preservation-
assistance-grants-smaller-institutions
You will also find sample project descriptions, sample narratives, and a li
st of frequently asked questions. The deadline for applications is May 2, 2
017.
See our Web series, 50 States of Preservation, about PAG awardees across th
e country, up on our Web site: https://www.neh.gov/divisions/preservation/f
eatured-project
Small and mid-sized institutions that have never received an NEH grant are
encouraged to apply. We also have a special encouragement for applications
from presidentially designated institutions (Hispanic-serving institutions,
Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and Tribal Colleges and Univ
ersities), and from Native American tribes and Native Hawaiian and Native A
laska organizations with significant humanities collections.
This year, NEH is offering encouragements to address issues facing small in
stitutions and the preservation field. To provide practical experience to
emerging preservation professionals, we encourage consultants to work as m
entors with advanced students or recent graduates from preservation program
s who may assist in conducting preservation assessments, addressing specifi
c preservation issues, and/or training of staff at the applicant institutio
n. Applicants may request an additional $1,000 if the consultant is workin
g with emerging professionals. We also encourage consultants to consider pr
eventive conservation strategies that pragmatically balance effectiveness,
cost, and environmental impact.
And to address the risk to cultural heritage materials from natural disaste
rs, theft, and other types of destruction, NEH encourages applicants to dev
elop disaster plans and to work collaboratively with local institutions for
training in disaster preparedness and emergency response.
