Fri Apr 26 10:28:40 EDT 2024

The State Library of Ohio is excited to relaunch the LSTA Conservation and Preservation Grant in just a few weeks. The relaunch begins with a required workshop, held on May 8, 2024, which will be held both in-person at the State Library, and online. If you are able to attend in-person, it is an excellent opportunity to meet conservators, and network with other practitioners. You can even bring the object you wish to conserve and receive advice about conservation plans from the conservators who will be on-site. Light refreshments will be provided in the morning.  See below for Registration details.

Grant Program
Contract period for each awarded project will run:

The State Library of Ohio, in partnership with the Ohio Preservation Council (OPC), is pleased to announce the availability of LSTA funds<https://library.ohio.gov/libraries/grants/conservation-and-preservation-grant/> 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 May8, 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.
