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

Best regards,

Steve Eberhardt
