The National Park Service, in partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Humanities, announced $25.7 million in Save America’s Treasures grants to fund 58 preservation and conservation projects in 26 states.
These grants and the matching funds support the preservation of nationally significant historic properties and collections across America. IMLS will administer 25 of the awards, totaling $6,721,847. These projects involve collections (including artifacts, museum collections, documents, sculptures, and other works of art).
The Federal Save America’s Treasures program was established in 1998, and is carried out in partnership with IMLS, NEA, and NEH. Since 1999, Save America’s Treasures has provided over $300 million to more than 1,300 projects to provide preservation and conservation work on nationally significant collections, artifacts, structures and sites. Requiring a dollar-for-dollar private match, these grants have leveraged more than $500 million in private investment and contributed more than 16,000 jobs to local and state economies. These awards totaling $25,750,000 will leverage almost $60 million in private and public investment. Read more...
