IMLS Requests Proposals to Purchase, Promote, and Distribute a Conservation Bookshelf
The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) invites proposals for a cooperative agreement to purchase and distribute a set of conservation-related books, bibliographies, DVDs, and on-line resources as part of its Connecting to Collections initiative. The cooperator will also mount a promotional campaign about the Connecting to Collections initiative and the Conservation Bookshelf, with special attention to raising awareness and soliciting requests for the bookshelf from small to medium-sized museums, libraries, and archives. Download the RFP here (PDF, 73KB).
The Conservation Bookshelf will address topics such as guidance for conservation of specific types of objects; conservation treatment; planning; disaster readiness; culturally specific conservation issues; and conservation of living collections. The Institute’s goal is to provide basic texts and resources free of charge to a broad spectrum of library, museum, and archive staff based on a simple application.
