Some news for the new year: the Archives is pleased to announce that it is the recipient of a $6,000 preservation assessment grant from the National Endowment of the Humanities. This is the Archives’ first awarded grant. The grant money will be used to pay for a consultant from Amigos Library Services to assess the facility and for the department to purchase archival supplies to further preserve its collections.
