A preservation field service program that would offer workshops for 300 cultural heritage professionals, conduct 15 preservation surveys, and provide technical consultations and educational materials to thousands of libraries, archives, museums, and historical organizations nationwide. Outreach services would especially focus on collecting institutions in the Gulf Coast and Appalachia regions. The grant would also support a one-year fellowship in preventive conservation.

The Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts (CCAHA) requests funding support to continue and broaden the reach of the activities of CCAHA's preservation field services program through preservation planning activities, educational activities, and outreach services.
