Program Overview
Statewide Planning Grants, an important component of
the Connecting to Collections initiative, foster partnerships among organizations in a state,
commonwealth, or territory to implement recommendations of the Heritage Health Index (HHI),
which recommends that collections in the public trust should:
- provide safe conditions for their collections;
- develop an emergency plan;
- assign responsibility for collections care; and
- work together to increase public and private support for, and raise public
awareness about, collections care.
In 2010, the Institute plans to award one grant to each of the following eligible
states, commonwealths, and territories that have not yet received a Statewide Planning Grant:
- American Samoa
- Arizona
- Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands
- Federated States of Micronesia
- Hawaii
- Idaho
- Louisiana
- Missouri
- Montana
- Nebraska
- Nevada
- Puerto Rico
- Republic of Palau
- Republic of the Marshall Islands
- Washington, DC
- West Virginia
- Wisconsin
Eligibility
Multiple partnerships, including representatives of libraries, museums, archives,
statewide service organizations, and state agencies. Institutions that fulfill the general criteria
may apply.
