The
Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts presents: Fundraising for Preservation and Conservation
Philadelphia, PA - March 28, 2006
Held at the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society Pittsburgh, PA - April 4,
2006
Cosponsored by the University of Pittsburgh, University Library System
(ULS) Held at the Pittsburgh Athletic Association About the Workshop
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 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. The workshop will address: ·
Planning: Moving from a preservation needs
assessment to a funding strategy ·
Potential
funding sources:
Triaging your time to focus on your best funding prospects ·
Writing the
request:
Anticipating the funder’s questions and answering them concisely ·
Evaluation: Incorporating the new standards LOCATIONS
