The National Endowment for the Humanities is offering preservation

small and mid-sized institutions*improve their ability to preserve and
care for their humanities collections. These collections can include
books and journals, archives and manuscripts, prints and photographs,
moving images, sound recordings, architectural and cartographic records,
decorative and fine arts, textiles, archaeological and ethnographic
artifacts, furniture, and historical objects.
 
Institutions such as libraries, museums, historical societies, archival
repositories, arts and cultural organizations, and town and county
records offices may apply.
 
Preservation Assistance Grants may be used for general preservation
assessments; consultations with professionals to address a specific
preservation issue, need, or problem; purchase of storage furniture and
preservation supplies; purchase of environmental monitoring equipment
for humanities collections; education and training; and other
activities. 
 
Any U.S. nonprofit organization is eligible, as are state and local
