Dear Colleagues,

Don't forget to register for the upcoming LSTA Conservation/Preservation grant workshop on May 8th if you are interested in applying for the grant. In-person and virtual options!

Required Workshop May 8, 2024
Grant application due August 15, 2024
Grant Program Contract period for each awarded project will run:
November 1, 2024 – August 31, 2025

The State Library of Ohio, in partnership with the Ohio Preservation Council (OPC), is pleased to announce the availability of LSTA funds of up to $4,999 for libraries to conserve a single item or preserve a small, discrete group of items within their collections. The item(s) selected for conservation/preservation should be unique, valuable (culturally or monetarily), and as a cultural artifact speak to the mission and values of the applying institution. Additionally, as a cultural artifact or collection it should reflect some element of the historic and artistic record of Ohio. This is in accordance with goals outlined in The State Library of Ohio’s Five Year LSTA Plan. All analog formats, including book and paper, object, and artwork are appropriate.

Under this special program, prospective applicants must attend the workshop on May 8th, 2024 prior to submitting a grant application. This workshop will prepare applying institutions for submitting a successful application. By attending the workshop, prospective applicants will gain knowledge of the criteria for selecting materials for conservation/preservation, basic evaluation considerations, finding a conservator, working with conservators, contracts and insurance, and treatment documentation.

Workshop

Registration<https://events.library.ohio.gov/event/12174408> for the workshop opens on March 13th and closes when the maximum capacity has been reached.

The State Library of Ohio is excited to announce that the workshop will return to a hybrid format this year. The workshop will include sessions provided by conservators. Participants may bring examples of the items they are considering conserving to have their questions answered by conservators. Registration to the in-person session is limited to 50 participants and is expected to fill quickly. Each institution may send up to two participants to the in-person session. Registration for the virtual session is limited to 75 participants.

Timeline and Grant Requirements

One grant application per institution will be considered for funding.

The grant application and instructions on how to apply will be made available on the State Libraries web site after the May 8th workshop.

Applications will be accepted between May 9th and August 15th, 2024.

Grant applications will be reviewed by a team of State Library staff and Ohio Preservation Council members.

Successful grant applicants will be notified in early October 2024.
