NEDCC AWARDED PRESTIGIOUS GRANT

NEDCC is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a grant of $500,000 from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to help support its Preservation Services activities over the next two years.

The NEH funding will help enhance NEDCC's capacity
to deliver preservation information to smaller organizations impacted by the economic downturn.

NEDCC has responded to the needs of these organizations by increasing its offerings of convenient and affordable preservation training programs and expanding its digital services to encompass training
and consultation.

By helping institutions better understand and address their preservation challenges – through workshops, webinars, a reference service, disaster assistance, publications, surveys and consultations, and a comprehensive website – NEDCC is poised to help institutions preserve their vital humanities collections
in these tough economic times.

NEDCC is a nonprofit organization that relies on federal grants like this one, as well as generous contributions from individuals, foundations, and other sponsors, to help sustain the variety of free and low-cost preservation services and resources that you depend on.

Massachusetts Congresswoman Niki Tsongas
recently offered her congratulations:

It's fitting that such an important organization
in the Fifth District can continue to ensure that
our cultural and historic legacy is preserved.

I want to congratulate NEDCC for receiving these competitive federal grant funds, which will assist libraries, archives, museums, and other similar institutions affected by the economic downturn to maintain and preserve their historic collections.
