The National Endowment for the Humanities Preservation Assistance Grants for Smaller Institutions Deadline Approaching

The 2009 guidelines for NEH Preservation Assistance Grants for Smaller Institutions are available at www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/pag.html, along with sample project descriptions, sample narratives, and a list of frequently asked questions.

Preservation Assistance Grants help institutions – particularly small and mid-sized institutions – improve their ability to preserve and care for their humanities collections, including special collections of books and journals, archives and manuscripts, prints and photographs, moving images, sound recordings, architectural and cartographic records, decorative and fine arts, textiles, archaeological and ethnographic artifacts, furniture, and historical objects. Institutions such as libraries, museums, historical societies, archival repositories, arts and cultural organizations, and town and county records offices are encouraged to apply.

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

Deadline: May 14, 2009 (for projects begning January 2010)
