Did you know Amigos offers Preservation Site and Collection Survey visits? We are happy to assess your institution’s physical environment as well as your collections. These site visits can be particularly helpful in seeking funding for your library as well as providing guidance on how to complete your own survey.
Guidelines have been posted for the National Endowment for the Humanities’ Sustaining Cultural Heritage Collections grants. U.S. nonprofit museums, libraries, archives, and educational institutions can apply for grants to plan and implement preservation strategies that pragmatically balance effectiveness, cost, and environmental impact. Projects should be designed to be as cost effective, energy efficient, and environmentally sensitive as possible, and they should aim to mitigate the greatest risks to collections rather than to meet prescriptive targets.
During Hurricane season, historic sites and cultural treasures are threatened by high winds, heavy rain, and flooding. The Heritage Emergency National Task Force website has resources to help at www.heritageemergency.org.
