Subject: NEH Preservation Assistance Grants

The U.S. National Endowment for the Humanities and the Division of Preservation and Access announce the 2010 deadline for Preservation Assistance Grants for Smaller Institutions. These grants help small and mid-sized 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. Grants cover consultant fees, workshop registration fees, related travel and per diem expenses, and the costs of purchasing and shipping preservation supplies and equipment.

U.S. nonprofit organizations are eligible, as are U.S. state and local governmental agencies and tribal governments. Individuals are not eligible to apply.

All applications to the NEH must be submitted through Grants.gov. See the application guidelines for details.

Small and mid-sized institutions that have never received an NEH grant are especially encouraged to apply.
