About the Workshop
This workshop focuses on the special needs of your special collections.
In order to provide optimum care for your collections, should you invest
in planning? In stabilizing the environment? In cataloging and
describing? In digitization? Or in conservation treatment? Often, the
honest answer is "all of the above," but since this response can lead to
paralysis, it is important to identify a starting place. One key to
moving ahead is the development of a funding strategy for preservation.
On the federal level, funding sources are available to move your
cultural organization ahead with preservation initiatives. These federal
grants can leverage other donations, bringing more money and attention
to your collections while ensuring that the treasures in your special
collections will be available for the appreciation of future
generations.
Through thoughtful planning and effective grant writing, your
organization can be competitive in applying for high-profile federal
grants. This workshop will examine the planning process that reviewers
want to see in place and the components that make a grant request
compelling. Examples will be drawn from success stories at museums,
libraries and archives.
The workshop will address:
* Planning: Moving from a preservation needs
assessment to a funding strategy
* Potential funding sources: Triaging your time to
focus on your best funding prospects
* Writing the request: Anticipating the funder's
questions and answering them concisely
* Evaluation: Incorporating the new standards
