Preserved with Grants from the IMLS American Heritage Preservation
Program
Program Overview
Bank of America is partnering with the Institute to provide
grants to small museums, libraries, and archives. The grants
will raise awareness and fund preservation of treasures held
in small museums, libraries and archives.
Grants will help to preserve specific items,
including works of art, artifacts and historical documents
that are in need of conservation. Applicants will build on
completed conservation assessments of their collections to
ensure that the grants are used in accordance
with best practices in the field, and underscore the importance
of assessment planning.
Grant programs that provide assistance with
conservation planning and assessment include the Institute’s
Conservation
Assessment Program and the National Endowment for the
Humanities’ Preservation
Assistance Grants. Some states also offer assessment programs.
Eligibility
Institutions that fulfill the general criteria may apply. See program guidelines
for special conditions of eligibility for this program.
