This grant is for helping cultural institutions effectively preserve diverse humanities materials, including books, manuscripts, photographs, and artifacts, for future generations. Offered by the Humanities Department, the Sustaining Cultural Heritage Collections (SCHC) program supports preventive conservation measures. This encompasses managing environmental factors like humidity and temperature, providing protective storage, and implementing disaster preparedness. The goal is to ensure continued access to valuable collections, facilitating humanities research, teaching, and lifelong learning. The program encourages institutions like libraries, museums, and archives to adopt scientifically sound and sustainable preservation strategies, balancing effectiveness with cost and environmental impact. This approach contributes to an institution’s financial health, reduces fossil fuel consumption, and supports green initiatives, while safeguarding significant collections for public use.

| Description: | Sustaining Cultural Heritage Collections (SCHC) helps cultural institutions meet the complex challenge of preserving large and diverse holdings of humanities materials for future generations by supporting preventive conservation measures that mitigate deterioration and prolong the useful life of collections. Libraries, archives, museums, and historical organizations across the country are responsible for collections of books and manuscripts, photographs, sound recordings and moving images, archaeological and ethnographic artifacts, art, and historical objects that facilitate research, strengthen teaching, and provide opportunities for life-long learning in the humanities. To preserve and ensure continued access to such collections, institutions must implement preventive conservation measures, which encompass managing relative humidity, temperature, light, and pollutants in collection spaces; providing protective storage enclosures and systems for collections; and safeguarding collections from theft and from natural and man-made disasters. As museums, libraries, archives, and other collecting institutions strive to be effective stewards of humanities collections, they must find ways to implement preventive conservation measures that are scientifically sound and sustainable. This program therefore helps cultural repositories plan and implement preservation strategies that pragmatically balance effectiveness, cost, and environmental impact. Such a balance can contribute to an institution¿s financial health, reduce its use of fossil fuels, and benefit its green initiatives, while ensuring that significant collections are well cared for and available for use in humanities programming, education, and research. |
