NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES
DIVISION OF PRESERVATION AND ACCESS

Preservation Assistance Grants for Smaller Institutions help small and mid-sized 
institutions, such as libraries, museums, historical societies, archival 
repositories, town and county records offices, and colleges, improve their 
ability to preserve and care for their humanities collections.   These grants 
support preservation related collection assessments, consultations, 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.  This year, the maximum award amount has been increased to 
$6000 and projects may include a wider variety of education and training 
activities.

All applications to the NEH must be submitted through Grants.gov using new 
Acrobat forms.  This requires the use of Adobe Acrobat Reader 8.1.1 or 8.1.2.  
See the application guidelines for details.

The 2008 guidelines for Preservation Assistance Grants for Smaller Institutions 
are available at http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/pag.html. You will also 
find sample project descriptions, sample narratives, and a list of frequently 
asked questions. The deadline for receipt of applications is May 15, 2008.

Any U.S. nonprofit organization is eligible, as are state and local governmental 
agencies and tribal governments. Small and mid-sized institutions that have 
never received an NEH grant are especially encouraged to apply.
