Hello,

I am wondering if anyone has had experience with grants at any level paying for storage racks?
When they demolished our vaults in an older building and moved our art storage to another -- they miscalculated, and our old racks (CSI) would not fit the new space due in part to devices in the ceiling.

We still have our old racks, which worked extremely well in the old space.? Retrofitting has been discussed but it’s expensive.

Now quite a few collection works are stored in a very cumbersome and awkward fashion.? It is much more time consuming for staff to access…

?

Any tips appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Sydney,

?

One federal grant program that supports collections care, including storage equipment (but NOT construction or renovation), is IMLS. Here’s a link to last year’s funding opportunity – this year’s is not available yet.

?

It does require at least a 1:1 match.?

?

Good luck!

Hi Sydney,

This might have been mentioned already (apologies if it has) but… A few years ago, my former colleagues and I successfully applied for the NEH’s Preservation Assistance Grants for Smaller Institutions Program: . (At the time, we needed to replace our racks so that we could maximize storage for a collection of textiles.)

?

It was a straightforward process, and the staff are really helpful if you have questions.

?

Good luck,
