----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Rebecca, I am passing along the following information in response to your request. Deborah Barlow Smedstad Head Librarian Los Angeles County Museum of Art [log in to unmask] **************************************************************************** ************************ Debbie--in response to your request for information on our grant: Rifkind Library grant came from the Institute for Museum Studies (IMS). We applied for a 1995 IMS Conservation Project Support grant. Victoria Blythe-Hill, Susan Batton (the independent paper conservator), Stephanie Dyas from our Development Office, and I wrote a proposal of some length (33 pages) the deadline for which was Mar. 31, 1995. We were awarded a $25,000. grant to assess the condition and storage as well as to prioritize and schedule treatment needs of our rare books and periodicals. The funding supported a contract consultant to conduct the survey. The funds became available on Oct. 1, 1995, and Susan Batton spent two full days a week at the Center for a period of one year. Apparently LACMA paper conservtors have a good track record for getting these grants--at least before the massive funding cuts.
