IMLS and the Bank of America announce preservation grants
The Institute of Museum and Library Services, imls.gov, and the Bank of America Charitable Foundation, bankofamerica.com/foundation, have announced the 2009 guidelines for the American Heritage Preservation Program. This new public-private partnership will fund the preservation of endangered and fragile art works, rare books, scientific specimens, and historical documents (photographs, maps, deeds, etc.) held in small and medium-sized museums, archives, and libraries. Although priority will be given to smaller institutions, all libraries, archives, and museums that meet IMLS institutional eligibility criteria are eligible to apply. These funds are not intended to fund a small portion of a larger project, but are aimed at completing a stand-alone conservation project. Awards are for up to $3,000 each.
Applications are due September 15, 2008. See the eligibility guidelines for more details.
