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.  Awards of up to $5,000 support preservation related 
collection assessments, consultations, and 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.

Beginning in 2006, all applications to the NEH must be submitted through 
Grants.gov. See the application guidelines for details.

The 2006 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 applications is May 15, 2006.
