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 $5000 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.

All applications to the NEH must be submitted through Grants.gov. See the 
application guidelines for details.

The 2007 guidelines for Preservation Assistance Grants for Smaller 
Institutions are available at

project descriptions, sample narratives, and a list of frequently asked 
questions. The deadline for applications is May 15, 2007.

Small and mid-sized institutions that have never received an NEH grant are 
especially encouraged to apply.
