Hello,

Please post if this is timely:

Deadline for the Upper Midwest Conservation Association's (UMCA) Mentorship
and Subsidized Survey Programs is January 18, 2002.

These programs are offered through a grant from the National Endowment for
the Humanities and are available to museums in Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota and Wisconsin.

The Mentorship program will provide assistance with a specific,
collections-related, conservation project over a two-year period, which will
include two personal visits from a conservator and phone/e-mail
consultations. This program is offered at no cost to accepted institutions.

The Subsidized Survey program will provide for a survey of an institution's
collections for a greatly reduced cost - institutions will pay only $400 for
the survey and report plus $350 for travel, food and accomodations for the
visiting conservator.

Please contact Melinda Markell, Field Services Coordinator, at 612-870-3128
for more details and applications.  UMCA will accept faxed applications.
