In honor of Preservation Week <http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/alcts/confevents/preswk/index.cfm> (May 9-15, 2010), NEH celebrates the tenth anniversary of the Preservation Assistance Grants program. NEH has made over 1,300 awards totaling more than $6 million to put smaller institutions on the right path toward preservation of their humanities collections. We consider support for smaller institutions to be essential to our mission to preserve and provide access to cultural heritage in public collections in the United States. Awards of up to $6,000 support preservation related collection assessments, consultations, training 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. To learn more about the program, please see our 10th Anniversary Web Page <http://www.neh.gov/whoweare/divisions/PreservationAccess/10thAnniversar y.html> , which provides a search tool to access previously awarded projects. Please see the 2010 Guidelines <http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/pag.html> for Preservation Assistance Grants for Smaller Institutions. The next deadline for applications is May 18, 2010.
