************************************************  
Preservation Assistance Grants (PAG) from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) help small and mid-sized institutions-such as libraries, museums, historical societies, archival repositories, cultural organizations, town and county records offices, and colleges and universities-improve their ability to preserve and care for their significant humanities collections. 

These may include collections of books and journals, archives and manuscripts, prints and photographs, moving images, sound recordings, architectural and cartographic records, decorative and fine art objects, textiles, archaeological and ethnographic artifacts, furniture, historical objects, and digital materials. 

NEDCC highly recommends the NEH PAGs for those small to mid-size organizations that need help getting their preservation program going.
