New Jersey State Library Preservation Workshop Series

Fundraising for Preservation

\x93Fundraising for Preservation\x94 will be a one-day workshop combining lecture, discussion, and case study explorations. On the federal level, grants to preserve special collections are available, but many libraries face difficulties in meeting the criteria required to apply. One key to moving ahead is the development of a funding strategy. Through thoughtful planning, libraries can be competitive in raising money for the preservation of special collections. In addition, this workshop will examine the components that make a preservation grant request compelling. Examples will be drawn from success stories at libraries and other cultural institutions.

The workshop will be led by Lee Price, Director of Development at the Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts (CCAHA) in Philadelphia, PA. Lee has worked as a professional fundraiser since 1988. At CCAHA, he is not only responsible for raising money for the Center but also for assisting libraries, museums, historic sites, and archives in applying for large grants. He has participated in the development of major successful grant requests for the State Library of Pennsylvania, the New Jersey State Archives, the David Library of the American Revolution, the Benjamin Franklin Tercentenary, the Pennsylvania State Archives, Valley Forge National Historical Park, the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Delaware. He is a contributing editor of PUBLIC LIBRARIES magazine, where he writes a bi-monthly column on fundraising for libraries.
