<p style="line-height:29px"><strong>Required Workshop May 8, 2024<br>
Grant application due August 15, 2024<br>
Grant Program Contract period for each awarded project will run:</strong><br>
<strong>November 1, 2024 – August 31, 2025</strong></p>
<p style="line-height:29px">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.</p>
<p style="line-height:29px">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.</p>
