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 broad 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.
