The National Endowment for the Humanities Sustaining Cultural Heritage Collections program helps cultural institutions meet the complex challenge of preserving large and diverse holdings of humanities materials for future generations by supporting sustainable conservation measures that mitigate deterioration, prolong the useful life of collections, and support institutional resilience: the ability to anticipate and respond to disasters resulting from natural or human activity.
This award is up to $50,000 for planning and up to $350,000 for implementation for institutions seeking to ensure the “preservation of books and manuscripts, photographs, sound recordings and moving images, archaeological and ethnographic artifacts, art, and historical objects.” This grant is for preventative conservation, ways to manage humidity, moderate temperature and/or light pollutants to ensure the preservation of these special and culturally significant items.
