The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and Heritage Preservation
are pleased to announce that museums will have another opportunity to apply for
the FY2000 Conservation Assessment Program (CAP).  Applications must be
postmarked by Saturday, April 1, 2000 and will be funded on a first-come, first-served
basis.  Funds are limited for this second deadline so interested institutions
should submit applications as soon as possible.

For application materials visit the Heritage Preservation web site at
www.heritagepreservation.org or contact Kyra Skvir at [log in to unmask] or

CAP provides funds a general survey of a museum's collections, environmental
conditions, and sites.  The assessment process and resulting reports can help
museums develop strategies for improved collections care, long-range planning, and
fund-raising.  The program is funded by IMLS and administered by Heritage
Preservation.

Museums that are not able to apply before April 1, 2000 should contact Heritage
Preservation to verify they are on our application mailing list.  The 2001
application will be mailed on October 6, 2000 and will have a postmark deadline of
December 1, 2000.
