The Covid pandemic certainly created some new challenges, but methods emerged to streamline oversight of objects in certain scenarios. ARCS is pleased to announce the return of the Courier Training Workshop, a program to better equip registrars and collections specialists to handle the challenges and curveballs of traveling with objects, especially internationally. ARCS first presented the Courier Training Workshop in March 2020, and we are thrilled to be back to present the first in-person program in 3 years. Please join us for a *pair of one-day workshops designed to equip both individual couriers and their managers with tools needed for success.* Attend one or both days to strengthen your couriering skills and learn how to train others for the journey. The workshop is based on the *Courier Training Program Framework*, developed by the European Registrars Group to promote best practices in the museum and gallery sector. This curriculum - *adapted for a US-focus* - provides attendees with comprehensive manuals for both courier and manager including training presentations and real-world scenarios. Sessions will be led by: - *Jacqueline Cabrera, *Principal, Cabrera + Art + Management LLC. Jacqui planned and collaborated with the EU Registrars to present the 2020 workshop - *Tina Sullivan, *Vice President of Fine Arts, Masterpiece International - *Rita Gomez, *Lead Preparator, J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, CA *Day One* *of the workshop will be geared toward professionals responsible for outgoing loans and couriers. *This workshop will provide an overview of the courier framework, followed by an in-depth session that will enable you to train your couriers and potentially develop your own training materials based on the framework. *Day Two will be geared towards both new and experienced couriers.* Sessions will detail the purpose and responsibilities of couriers; how to prepare loans for travel; condition reporting; transit practices by land, air, and water; dealing with the unexpected; and courier do?s and don?ts. *Please note: Managers of couriers are encouraged to attend both days to gain this first-hand experience of training with the framework.

Due: January 11, 2024 Maximum funding: $10,000 Funding for: Preservation assessments, planning, and supplies; Professional development on preservation & access topics More information: https://www.neh.gov/grants/preservation/preservation-assistance-grants-smaller-institutions FAQ: https://www.neh.gov/sites/default/files/inline-files/PAG%20FAQ%202024.pdf Further questions?: preservation@neh.gov Preservation Assistance Grants help small and mid-sized organizations preserve and manage humanities collections, ensuring their significance for a variety of users, including source communities, humanities researchers, students, and the public, by building their capacity to identify and address physical and intellectual preservation risks. These collections may include special collections of books and journals, archives and manuscripts, prints and photographs, moving images, sound recordings, architectural and cartographic records, decorative and fine art objects, textiles, archaeological and ethnographic artifacts, furniture, historical objects, and digital materials. The Preservation Assistance Grants for Smaller Institutions program focuses on foundational activities in preservation and management of collections, such as assessments, development of plans and policies, consultations with scholars and source communities, emergency preparedness, environmental monitoring, rehousing, format surveys and inventories, and training in preservation and collections management. Applicants may draw on the knowledge of consultants whose preservation skills and experience are related to the types of collections and the nature of the activities on which their projects focus. Within the conservation field, conservators usually specialize in the care of specific types of collections, such as objects, paper, or paintings. Applicants should choose a conservator whose specialty is appropriate for the nature of their collections. Similarly, when assessing the preservation needs of library, museum, or archival holdings, applicants should seek a consultant specifically knowledgeable about the preservation of collections in these types of institutions. The program encourages applications from small and mid-sized institutions that have never received an NEH grant; community colleges, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribal Colleges and Universities, and Native American tribes and Native Alaskan and Native Hawaiian organizations with significant humanities collections. Furthermore, organizations or collections that represent the contributions of under-represented communities are highly encouraged. Encouragement for 2024: * Projects that advance humanities-related work in NEH?s American Tapestry, United We Stand, and Federal Indian Boarding School Initiatives. New for 2024: * Funding for consultations with source communities and scholars. * Funding for development or revision of digitization plans, collection management plans, collecting plans, loan policies, and processing manuals. * Funding for format surveys, inventories, updating condition reports, and/or other preparatory steps toward description of collections. Note: Conservation, implementing digitization, and extensive cataloging, indexing, and arrangement and description projects are NOT eligible activities. See the Humanities Collections and Reference Resources program. A pre-application webinar for prospective applicants will be held on November 3, 2023, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Register using this link: Preservation Assistance Grant Webinar. The webinar will be recorded and available online afterward. Want to receive updates from the NEH Division of Preservation & Access?
