Subject: Grant Award - Preservation of Photographic Collections
Greetings Colleagues,
I trust you’re well today. See the EXCITING NEWS below from Steve Eberhardt regarding the Photographic Preservation project. A page containing more details will be added to the Alliance’s web site.
Dear Members:
We are pleased to announce that The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation recently approved a $1.4 million grant to LYRASIS to improve preservation of significant photographic collections held in Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). This three-year project beginning in January 2011 will be conducted in partnership with the HBCU Library Alliance, Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts (CCAHA), University of Delaware Art Conservation Department, and Image Permanence Institute.
The goals of the project are to provide practical training in photograph preservation and environmental monitoring and control, stabilize at-risk photographic collections at HBCUs, and build local preservation capacity within HBCU institutions.
The current grant funds will support Round 2 of a Mellon-funded project that began in 2007. Round 1 included multiple training programs, conservation assessments, and funding for demonstration projects and environmental monitoring at ten HBCUs.
For additional information, please visit the LYRASIS website http://www.lyrasis.org/HBCUPhotograph.aspx or contact me.
Best regards,
Steve Eberhardt
Project Manager, HBCU Photograph Preservation Project
