 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 and
universities, improve their ability to preserve and care for their
humanities collections.  Awards of up to $6000 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.

 

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

 

The 2010 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 18,
2010.

 

U.S. nonprofit organizations are eligible, as are state and local
governmental agencies and tribal governments. Individuals are not eligible
to apply.

 

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