Guidelines have been posted for  NEH’s new program for Sustaining Cultural 
Heritage  Collections in the Division of Preservation and  Access.  The 
program supports “preventive conservation  measures that mitigate deterioration 
and prolong the useful  life of collections.”  Grants are offered for 
Planning  and Evaluation (up to $40,000) and Implementation (up to  $400,000).  
The deadline for submitting applications is  December 8,  2009.  This program 
represents an  excellent opportunity for Heritage Preservation members to  
apply for funding to address preventive conservation issues  facing their 
collections.  We strongly encourage you to  read these guidelines carefully and 
submit applications that  demonstrate the compelling need for these 
resources.   The guidelines are at _http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/SCHC.html_
