The Imaging & Preservation Service (IPS) is a unit of Amigos Library Services, a membership based organization serving the education, consulting, and technology needs of libraries, archives, museums, and other cultural heritage institutions. Established in 1991, with funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities as a preservation information center, Amigos' activities in preservation, and later imaging, have expanded to include workshops, site surveys, consulting, project management, disaster preparedness and response, and regional and national presentations. Services are targeted to the Amigos core region that includes Arizona, Arkansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. Services are also available to cultural institutions west of the Mississippi that do not have access to another regional preservation center. To maintain this important high quality collection-saving service, Amigos is requesting continued support from the NEH of $500,000. |
