Greetings Colleagues, Elizabeth Bradshaw, Wiley College (TX), Director of Library Services, shares the following highlights about the Thomas Winston Cole, Sr. Library: The HBCU Library Alliance has approved programming for the Thomas Winston Cole, Sr. Library at Wiley College totaling $7,000.00 for a Preservation Needs Assessment Survey. Approved programming and services will be delivered this summer. This programming is an integral part of the Building Capacity for Humanities Special Collections at HBCUs five-year project funded in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). The NEH grant is a $365,000 matching challenge grant and assists member libraries in improving collection stewardship through a menu of preservation services and education programs. By helping member libraries to move forward in achieving collection care goals, the HBCU Library Alliance is supporting the libraries in building capacity for fundraising for special collection initiatives, documenting cultural heritage materials, increasing accessibility of special collection items, and promoting the humanities significance of their irreplaceable cultural heritage artifacts.
