The document is divided into two separate sections by grant year--1988/89 and 1989/90--and the 56 entries, each containing one or more articles, are arranged alphabetically by grant recipient. Projects fall into 12 categories according to types of preservation activities or materials to be preserved: (1) development of information materials/training; (2) environmental controls; (3) historical records/manuscripts; (4) local history; (5) maps; (6) photographic materials; (7) physical treatment; (8) protective enclosures; (9) rare books; (10) reformatting microforms; (11) reformatting non-microforms; and (12) surveys. An index by type of preservation activity is included, and a list of all grant fund recipients is provided which includes the organization/institution name, address, telephone number, and contact name.
