Greenwood Library has received one of the Preservation Assistance Grants for Smaller Institutions from The National Endowment for the Humanities. The grants help institutions—particularly small and mid-sized institutions—improve their ability to preserve and care for their humanities collections, including special collections of books and journals, archives and manuscripts, prints and photographs, moving images, sound recordings, architectural and cartographic records, decorative and fine arts, textiles, archaeological and ethnographic artifacts, furniture, and historical objects.
The $10,000 award will fund the project titled, Conserving Kaminsky: An Expert Collections Survey of a Significant Silent Film Music Collection. This project will be led by Tammy Hines, Head of Collections & Information Services, and it will involve a preservation assessment of a collection of 6,000 silent film orchestral music scores.
