CALL FOR APPLICANTS
CCAHA's Preservation Overview Survey Program for paper-based collections
continues through the generous funding of the National Endowment for the
Humanities (NEH).
A Preservation Overview Survey can assist you in setting priorities for
preservation in your institution, and developing a preservation program
for your collections. The survey can also help your institution acquire
grant funding for preservation projects.
PROCESS:
The survey process encompasses a general evaluation of the institution's
preservation needs for the collection: environment (temperature, relative
humidity, pollution and light), housekeeping, pest control, fire protection,
security, and disaster preparedness; collection storage, handling,
exhibition, and treatment; and preservation planning. The site visit
consists of a review of the site, an examination of the collection, and
interviews with relevant staff to identify your preservation needs. The
written report provides observations, recommendations, and resources to
serve as a guide in the development of a comprehensive preservation plan
for your paper-based collection.
COST:
For a greatly reduced rate, you can receive a full day's review of the
preservation needs of your institution. The cost for this overview survey
is only $350, which will include travel expenses for the surveyor. After
the visit, you will receive an extensive report that will provide you with
a resource to begin long-term preservation planning.
ELIGIBILITY:
If your institution owns a paper-based collection in the humanities, is
available to the public, and has historical and educational significance,
you are eligible to be considered for participation in CCAHA's Subsidized
Survey Program.
DEADLINE:
A limited number of subsidized surveys are available through this grant.
The deadline for application is Friday, June 8, 2001. Additional deadlines
may be posted after this date.
