The National Endowment for the Humanities has a Preservation Assistance Grants for Smaller Institutions program to help libraries, museums, historical societies, archival repositories, town and county records offices, and colleges and universities improve preservation and care for their collections. Awards of up to $6,000 support collection assessments, consultation, training, and disaster and emergency planning. The application deadline is May 18. Guidelines for the program are available at www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/pag.html. Nonprofit organizations, state and local government agencies, and tribal governments are eligible for the grants.
