The annual deadline for applications to the National
Endowment for the Humanities' Division of Preservation and
Access is July 1, 1997 for projects that would begin in May
1998.
The Division of Preservation and Access supports projects
that will preserve and enhance access to cultural resources
important for research, education, and public programming in
the humanities. Support may be sought to preserve the
intellectual content and aid in bibliographic control of and
access to library and archival collections; to create
dictionaries, encyclopedias, databases, and other types of
research tools and reference works; and to stabilize
material culture collections by providing appropriate
storage of objects, environmental control, security and fire
protection. Applications may also be submitted for national
and regional preservation education and training projects,
regional preservation field service programs, and research
and demonstration projects that engage preservation issues
that have a national impact on museums, libraries, and
archives. Model projects that will establish standards or a
consensus of best practice for the use of electronic
technologies for preserving or creating trans-institutional
access to humanities resources are encouraged.
