Application Deadline-Preservation Assistance Grants

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)’s 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 consultations, purchase of preservation supplies and equipment, training and workshops, and institutional collaborative disaster and emergency planning.

Preservation Assistance Grants also support assessments of digital collections and education and training in standards and best practices 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.

Small and mid-sized institutions that have never received a NEH grant are encouraged to apply. The application deadline in May 1, 2014. For more information and the application, visit www.neh.gov/grants/guidelintes/pag.html
