Rhodarian - 1 hour 28 min ago

The American Heritage Preservation Program awarded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the Bank of America Charitable Foundation supports library and museum preservation projects.

“Based on the number of applications that IMLS received and the impact that grant recipients from 2009 have begun to share, we believe that this program meets a critical need in the museum and library communities,” said Anne-Imelda M. Radice, IMLS Director. “Organizations are improving the stewardship of these significant artifacts and documents and involving their community in the process.”

“At Bank of America, we have made support of the arts a high priority and a key part of serving our customers, associates, and communities. That includes honoring our cultural heritage as well as helping to sustain the arts for the future,” said Rena DeSisto, Global Arts and Heritage Executive for Bank of America. “This partnership with IMLS enables the preservation of cherished artifacts that instill pride in our communities and attest to the values this country was built upon.”

Part of IMLS’s Connecting to Collections: A Call to Action, a multi-year, multi-pronged initiative to protect our national treasures, this grant program provides significant support.

Through this public-private partnership, 36 museums and 18 libraries and archives will receive individual grants of up to $3,000 to preserve treasures that convey the essential character and experience of the United States. The 54 grants totaling $156,346 are being awarded to museums, libraries, and archives to treat, re-house, and improve the storage environments of important collections.
