societies, archival repositories, town and county records offices, and
colleges, improve their ability to preserve and care for their humanities
collections. These may include special collections of books and journals,
archives and manuscripts, prints and photographs, moving images, sound
recordings, architectural and cartographic records, decorative and fine
arts, textiles, archaeological and ethnographic artifacts, furniture, and
historical objects.
Awards of up to $5000 provide support for consultant fees, workshop
registration fees, travel and per diem expenses, and the costs of
purchasing and shipping preservation supplies and equipment. No cost-
sharing is required. All grants are awarded for a period of eighteen months.
