We're pleased to announce that the deadline to apply for DHPSNY's free Planning & Assessment services has been extended to Tuesday, October 18. DHPSNY offers valuable services in three areas—Archival Needs Assessments, Preservation and Conservation Surveys, and Strategic Planning assistance. These services are designed to help small- to medium-sized collecting institutions throughout New York State improve and advance program efforts while forming strategies for future growth and development. The review process to award these free services will be competitive, and we hope this extension gives your institution the extra time needed to ensure that your application is as strong as possible for our advisory committee of library, archives, and conservation professionals. To learn more about each of our services, visit DHPSNY's Planning & Assessment page. There you will find more information on each category, as well as application forms and instructions. DHPSNY staff is also available to assist you in completing your application. Please contact us for assistance, questions about eligibility, or additional information at (215) 545-0613 or info@dhpsny.org.
