Grant Roundup
Federal Update
In draft legislation, the House Appropriations Subcommittee recommends a
$227.317 million budget for the Institute of Museum and Library Services
(IMLS) for the 2013 fiscal year. If enacted, it would represent an
approximately 2% reduction from IMLS’s FY 2012 appropriation. The House of
Representatives report that accompanies recommended legislation is not yet
available.
The Senate Subcommittee has recommended the same amount requested by IMLS
for Fiscal Year 2013. It approved IMLS’s consolidation of the Conservation
Project Support program with the Museums for America program. For more,
including a possible January 15, 2013 deadline see _Heritage Hotline_
(http://heritagepreservation.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=00cbcc194404641e5
45c4b972&id=b922df5525&e=9ce0dc217c) .
The House of Representatives Appropriations Subcommittee recommended a
$132 million budget for both the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)
and the National Endowments for the Arts (NEA) for the 2013 fiscal year.
This is a 9.6% cut from 2012. No funds were allocated for Save America’s
Treasures. More information is also available at _Heritage Hotline_

Heritage Preservation Works with Veterans Affairs
Heritage Preservation has been honored to contract with the U.S.
Department of Veterans Affairs' National Cemetery Administration (NCA) to help care
for many of the nation's historic monuments. Work has included
coordinating assessments and reviewing treatment proposals for monuments in NCA’s
cemeteries and soldiers lots across the country. Recently, Heritage
Preservation developed a maintenance procedure manual for historic monuments and a
training program to teach basic monument preservation principles and
techniques to NCA cemetery staff. On June 20 and 21, Heritage Preservation and
NCA piloted this training program at Winchester National Cemetery in
Virginia. Frances Gale, Professor of Historic Preservation at the University of
Texas at Austin, provided one day of classroom instruction and a day at the
cemetery for on-site demonstrations. Despite the scorching weather,
participants gained hands-on practice in conducting inspections, gentle
cleaning, applying protective wax to bronze, graffiti removal, temporary masonry
repointing, and metal repainting. Click _here_

MayDay a Success
Earlier this year, Heritage Preservation encouraged cultural institutions
to do one simple activity for MayDay, a national campaign to promote
emergency preparedness. Twenty-eight cultural institutions shared their
activities, which included facility tours and disaster supply inventories. See
what everyone did _here_

Community
In our Spring 2011 Update, we announced the public launch of the
_Connecting to Collections Online Community_
(http://heritagepreservation.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=00cbcc194404641e545c4b972&id=99d5d65b11&e=9ce0dc217c
) . One year later, the Community has blossomed to 1,631 members and
nearly 100 unique discussion topics. The community was created to connect staff
at small museums, archives, and libraries with each other and with solid
collections care information. The Online Community has thrived thanks in
large part to the professionals who have lent their expertise to group
discussions and more than 20 interactive live chat events ranging in topics from
the care of plastics to collections security. Thank you to all who have
helped make the C2C Online Community a valued resource. We look forward to
watching the Community grow and hope you will join us.

practices, and learn from one another. An IdeaScale website has been set up to

designing a platform that addresses your most important priorities.
