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.</font></p>

considerations, finding a conservator, working with conservators, contracts and insurance, and treatment documentation.</font></p>
