Applicants Eligible for this Grant: Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)
Additional Information on Eligibility: All applications are required to reflect multiple partnerships, including representatives of libraries, museums, archives, statewide service organizations and state agencies. Any U.S. nonprofit library or museum is eligible (please see IMLS eligibility criteria at www.imls.gov/applicants/criteria.shtm a full definition of these kinds of institutions). In addition, a library or museum consortium or association is eligible to apply. Any single organization need not have statewide stewardship; this statewide perspective can be achieved through partnerships. More than one application may be submitted from an individual state, commonwealth, or territory, but only one application per state will be funded. Individuals are not eligible to apply.
Grant Description: An important component of the Connecting to Collections initiative, these grants foster partnerships among organizations in a state, commonwealth, or territory to implement recommendations of the Heritage Health Index (HHI), which recommends that collections in the public trust should: - provide safe conditions for their collections; - develop an emergency plan; - assign responsibility for collections care; and - work together to increase public and private support for, and raise public awareness about, collections care.
