Apply Now for Free Planning & Assessment Services!

Applications are now open for DHPSNY's free Planning & Assessment Services! DHPSNY awards services to a limited number of institutions in three areas: Archival Needs Assessments, Preservation & Conservation Surveys, and Strategic Planning assistance. Last season we awarded services to 18 institutions across New York State, and we're looking forward to awarding even more services in 2017. You can visit our Planning & Assessment page to learn more about each and determine which is right for your organization. 

Archival Needs Assessments provide assistance in archival program development tailored to specific organizational needs.
