It’s with great excitement that we announce that Beloit College, Center for Collections Care, was awarded a prestigious National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Preservation and Access Education and Training Grant for $349,971.

Funds will support two post graduate fellowships, scholarships for emerging professionals and small museums, libraries, archives, and other cultural organizations, and the development of two new online courses: Fundamentals of Collections Management and Culturally Appropriate Stewardship. Scholarships are available for the 2023 season and the application will soon be posted to the C3 website.

Many C3 course are of direct relevance to members of International Mountmakers Forum:

• Mount Making: The Design and Fabrication of Archival Mounts

• Advanced Mount Making

• Rigging Works of Art

• Packing Artwork for Transit

• Matting and Framing Works of Art on Paper
