This live, online webinar will cover the important issues that should be 
considered when preparing to submit an NEH Preservation Assistance Grant. 
Emphasis will be on preparing the grant narrative, making the case for 
your project, getting requisite information from consultants, and putting 
together a good budget.  This webinar is for those who have identified a 
PAG-eligible project, and want to learn strategies for preparing a strong 
application.

The National Endowment for the Humanities Preservation Assistance Grants 
for Smaller Institutions help small and mid-sized cultural heritage 
institutions 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. 
Preservation Assistance Grants also support education and training in best 
practices for sustaining digital collections, standards for digital 
preservation, and the care and handling of collections during 
digitization.

The 2012 guidelines for Preservation Assistance Grants for Smaller 
Institutions will be 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 early May, 2012.

The Academy of Certified Archivists will award 2 Accreditation 
Recertification Credits (ARCs) to eligible Certified Archivists (CAs) 
attending this webinar.
