*Conservation Grants Offered by The American Historical Print Collectors
Society*

Institutions seeking funding to preserve American historical prints in
their collections are invited to submit applications to the American
Historical Print Collectors Society for a Wendy Shadwell Print Conservation
Grant. The artwork to be treated must be at least one hundred years old and
the institution must be a member of the AHPCS.
The American Historical Print Collectors Society is once again offering
conservation grants to small institutions seeking to conserve historical
prints in their collections.  The AHPCS includes many Canadian members and
Canadian institutions are welcome to apply.

Wendy Joan Shadwell passed away on October 23, 2007.  Wendy was a long-time
curator at the New-York Historical Society, the author of many scholarly
articles, and a past president of the AHPCS.  She left a substantial
bequest to the American Historical Print Collectors Society to encourage
interest in American historical prints. An area of special concern to Wendy
was the “Preservation of Early American Prints,” and the Wendy Shadwell
Print Conservation Grant Program has been established to further that aim.

The American Historical Print Collectors Society (AHPCS) is a non-profit
group that encourages the collection, preservation, study, and exhibition
of original historical American prints that are 100 or more years old.
Institutions and individuals are encouraged to join.  For an online
application form, please go to http://www.ahpcs.org/choose-membership.html

Proposals for the Shadwell Conservation Grants are reviewed twice a year
and are due March 31 and September 30, 2017.  Awards will be announced
following the board meetings of the AHPCS in May and November. For more
information about the grants please contact Roger Genser, Chairperson,
Shadwell Print Conservation Subcommittee, PO Box 5133, Santa Monica, CA
