FYI: grant funding for preservation projects/training, as well as disaster planning for both Amigos members and non-members - specifically for smaller institutions: Every year Amigos' IPS unit helps both member and non-member institutions apply for the National Endowment for the Humanities program Preservation Assistance Grants for Smaller Institutions (PAGs). These grants may be used for preservation site surveys, preservation-related workshops and training, training or assistance with preparing disaster plans for your institution, and supplies to help your institution preserve and house collections. In past years the grants have been limited to $5,000 or less. This year the amount has been increased to $6,000, and matching funds are not required from the applicant. The application deadline is May 15, 2008, and funds are released in January 2009, with project completion due by the end of 2009. This year's guidelines are now available on the NEH grants website to give you an idea of the kinds of projects that are appropriate for this grant. If you would like to discuss how IPS can assist your institution with a PAG application, and advise you on preservation or disaster preparedness needs, please contact Gina Minks, IPS Manager, [EMAIL PROTECTED], or Elizabeth Klein, IPS Coordinator, [EMAIL PROTECTED], for assistance.
