In December 2010, LYRASIS received a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to improve the preservation of significant photographic collections held in Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Following a survey of the needs of these collections and a Preservation Symposium, ten institutions were selected to receive grants to support preservation demonstration projects, staff training, environmental monitoring, and student internships. The HBCU Photographic Preservation Project has enabled participants to address the needs of their significant at-risk collections ensuring their availability to scholars.
In this session Steve Eberhardt, Project Coordinator, will speak about the structure of the project and the collections involved. Steve received his M.A. in Sociology from Georgia State University in 1993 and has worked on various preservation projects at LYRASIS (formerly SOLINET) since 1994. He served as the Coordinator in the previous Mellon-funded HBCU Photographic Preservation Project.
