FAIN: PE-277148-21

CCAHA (Philadelphia, PA 19103-5530)
Dyani Feige (Project Director: June 2020 to March 2025)

A preservation field service program that would build capacity for collection stewardship at small and medium-sized collecting institutions through three main activities: 1) Preservation Planning, 2) the Regional Heritage Stewardship Program, and 3) Education and Training Programs.

The Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts (CCAHA) requests three-year funding support to continue and broaden the reach of activities of CCAHA's preservation field services programs through preservation planning activities, the Regional Heritage Stewardship Program, and educational programs. Goals for preservation field services activities in 2019-20 include: To competitively offer NEH-subsidized preservation needs assessments, emergency plans, and digital preservation assessments to 12 small to mid-sized institutions; to sustain the work of the Regional Heritage Stewardship Program in the Deep South and Appalachia; to provide one national conferences on sustainability and collections care, as well as a first-time Collections Care Boot Camp, a first-time educational collaboration with ICA Art Conservation, and a series of mid-level education programs.
