Partial stipends for the 30 graduate students enrolled in the SUNY/Buffalo State program in art conservation. Remaining stipend support comes from endowment funds, other federal and private grants, and university cost-share.

The preservation of our cultural heritage and humanities collections is a constant concern for our nation’s libraries, archives, and museums no matter their size or stature.  To ensure that our cultural heritage is soundly preserved, it is imperative that these graduate programs be maintained and supported by their respective universities in addition to national funding agencies.
