About the Lecture:
The close alliance between preservation of cultural heritage collections and the provision of access to them was explored, with particular reference to the ways in which the grant programs of the Division of Preservation and Access at the National Endowment for the Humanities exemplify that alliance. The results of a recent strategic planning effort, which included attention both to physical preservation and to preservation of the digital cultural record, was presented and shown to have led to changes and additions that strengthen the bond between preservation and access in the division’s programs.
