The deadline has passed for the fall 2016 round of DHPSNY's Planning & Assessment Services, and as postmarked applications continue to roll in, we want to take a moment to thank everyone who took the time and effort to apply! It's been exciting to see such a diverse pool of strong applications from institutions small and large representing every area of the state. We have received applications in each of DHPSNY's three service categories from historical societies, museums, public and academic libraries, and more.

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 sure your application is as strong as possible for our advisory committee of library, archives, and conservation professionals.

This morning we wrapped up our second webinar, Funding for Collections Care, presented by CCAHA Director of Development Lee Price. Thanks to everyone who attended! We had a number of thoughtful questions during the Q&A session, and the presentation was packed with valuable information, including advice on how to develop a funding strategy, detailed grant writing tips, and specific leads for funding sources. Of course, an important point of today's presentation was encouraging you to leverage DHPSNY's free Planning & Assessment Services as a part of your organization's overall strategy.
