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 http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/pag.html.. You will also 
find sample 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.
