NEH Sustaining Cultural Heritage Collections Grants

9/16/2015

0 Comments

 
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is accepting applications for Sustaining Cultural Heritage Collections Grants. This program "helps cultural repositories plan and implement preservation strategies that pragmatically balance effectiveness, cost, and environmental impact. Sustainable approaches to preservation can contribute to an institution’s financial health, reduce its use of fossil fuels, and benefit its green initiatives, while ensuring that collections are well cared for and available for use in humanities programming, education, and research." The focus is to ensure preservation of cultural resource materials and implement actions that will "slow deterioration and prevent catastrophic loss."

The NEH is awarding two kinds of grants:
  • Planning grants of up to $40,000 "to help an institution develop and assess sustainable preventive conservation strategies."
  • Implementation grants of up to $350,000 "to help an institution implement a preventive conservation project"
The deadline for submissions is December 1, 2015. For more information, visit:
