In March, we concluded our second Planning & Assessment Services application round, and we're excited to announce our latest group of awardees. From a competitive pool of applications, our field reviewers selected 19 organizations to receive free Archival Needs Assessments, Preservation Surveys, and Strategic Planning assistance. Once again, we're very pleased with the diversity of this group, which includes collecting institutions both small and large, from local historical societies and libraries to nationally recognized science, media, and performing arts organizations
