Subject:  Deadline for Applications to the NEH Division of Preservation & Access

     The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is a grant-making
     agency of the U.S. federal government that support projects in the
     humanities. Eligible applicants are: U.S. nonprofit associations,
     institutions, and organizations, as well as U.S. citizens and foreign
     nationals who have been legal residents in the United States for a
     period of at least the three years immediately preceding the
     submission of the application.

     NEH's Division of Preservation and Access supports projects that
     will create, preserve and increase the availability of resources
     important for research, education, and public programming in the
     humanities. Support may be sought to preserve the intellectual content
     and aid bibliographic control of collections; to compile
     bibliographies, descriptive catalogs, and guides to cultural holdings;
     to create dictionaries, encyclopedias, databases, and other types of
     research tools and reference works; and to stabilize material culture
     collections through the appropriate housing and storing of objects,
     improved environmental control, and the installation of security,
     lighting, and fire-prevention systems. Applications may also be
     submitted for national and regional education and training projects,
     regional preservation field service programs, and research and
     demonstration projects that are intended to enhance institutional
     practice and the use of technology for preservation and access.

     Projects may encompass collections of books, journals,
     newspapers, manuscript and archival materials, maps, still and moving
     images, sound recordings, and objects of material culture held by
     libraries, archives, museums, historical organizations, and other
     repositories.

     The Division has a single, annual DEADLINE for applications, JULY
     1. Final decisions will be announced the following March.
     Guidelines and instructions can be downloaded from the NEH Web site:
