Working in collaboration, the Foundation Center and the Library of Congress have just released the second edition of Foundation Grants for Preservation in Libraries, Archives, and Museums. This publication, issued as a PDF file, includes over 1,900 grants awarded by close to 500 foundations to public, academic, research, school, and special libraries, as well as to archives and museums, for work in conservation and preservation.
Deanna Marcum, associate librarian of Library Services at the Library of Congress said, “We are currently developing new initiatives to help libraries, archives, and museums care for our country's vulnerable cultural patrimony, including modern media during challenging times. We are delighted to partner on this Guide, which will lead people to funding sources that can support their preservation efforts."
Foundation Grants for Preservation in Libraries, Archives, and Museums is available for free download at the Library of Congress web site, http://www.loc.gov/preserv/foundtn-grants.html.
