Thanks to Everyone Who Applied for Planning & Assessment Services
UPDATE: Application deadline extended to Tuesday, October 18!
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.

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.
