[MassHistPres] Massachusetts receives statewide $40, 000 grant for cultural heritage preservation

[Lee Wright]

Just saw the February 19 announcement (below) of the $40,000 grant the state
received.  While I realize that it came from the IMLS, I thought that it
might be of interest to many on this list.

Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners - Boston, MA
Award Amount: $40,000

Contact: Mr. Gregor Trinkaus-Randall
Preservation Specialist
(617)725-1860x236;  <blocked::mailto:gregor.trinkaus-randall at state.ma.us>

Project Title: "Developing and Expanded and Enhanced Statewide Preservation
Program for Massachusetts' Cultural Heritage"
The Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners, along with its seven
partners, will use its grant to hire a consultant to develop, administer,
and analyze a survey directed at the cultural heritage institutions in the
state. The results of this new survey will be compared with data from a 1989
preservation needs assessment survey and the Heritage Health Index to
determine progress that has been made in addressing previously noted needs
and to identify new areas of concern for future action. This intensive
survey will allow Massachusetts to prioritize and develop a plan of action
to address current preservation needs across the state.
