Frankel, Director of the Institute of Museum and of MUSEUM Library Services, announced today the nine awardees of the 1997 IMLS Museum and LIBRARY Leadership Initiatives awards. IMLS received 95 applications and awarded over SERVICES $256,000 in grants. A list of funded projects is attached. Ms. Frankel noted, "The goal of Museum Leadership Initiatives is to encourage interaction between and among museums and community-based organizations. There is increasing interest in these types of partnerships; many organizations see partnerships as a way to maximize use of institutional resources and serve the community in a powerful way. Successful partnerships address real community needs and find common ground between institutions with missions that may be quite different from one another. While well worth the effort, strong mutually benefical partnerships are difficult to achieve. All organizations involved must engage in new thinking about the way they operate both internally and with others. To address some of these difficult issues as well as to examine successful partnerships, IMLS will convene a conference next year. This conference will help to expand thinking about partnerships and what they can achieve." The next Museum Leadership Initiatives deadline is June 19, 1998.

Mature Meaning will broaden and deepen educational experiences for the senior adult audience, making cultural resources available to those who lack adequate opportunities to participate or are unfamiliar with the art museum experience. Mature Meaning will encourage senior adults to consider art and the museum experiences as integral resources for life-long learning/enjoyment and as a means to inspire "life reviews." Belknap Mill Society Laconia, NH $28,120 The Belknap Mill Society, City of Laconia, Downtown Merchants Association, Chamber of Commerce, local schools, Laconia Housing and Redevelopment Authority, Laconia Rotary and the National Park Service will strengthen their partnership by designing a successful downtown revitalization project. Using focus groups, the Society will work to foster relationships, to improve the physical setting of downtown, to develop programming for the revitalized historic area and to provide leadership for the community and local historical groups. The Society plans to document the success of their goals and objectives in workbooks, articles in appropriate magazines and ensure long-term commitment as a leader in the community by establishing a web site and communicating on-line with related groups. The Children's Museum, Boston Boston, MA $30,000 The Children's Museum with the Federated Dorchester Neighborhood Houses, will plan a multicultural family literacy project to bring museum staff together with community agency staff and parents to create collaborative family literacy programs for the museum and home. Promoting family literacy is a major commitment for both institutions. The partnership will establish a plan for working with parents around literacy activities and materials that can be used both at the museum and at home. Parent teams will help design programs that will promote literacy development among children ages 3 - 7 and that will demonstrate how to use the museum as a learning environment to promote family literacy. Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden Cincinnati, OH $25,170 The Cincinnati Zoo, Urban League of Greater Cincinnati, Avondale Community Council, Carmel Presbyterian Church and Corinthian Baptist Church plan to develop a pilot program to develop and deliver programs to support the educational and family involvement needs of minority families. This planning grant will use the resources of all of the partners to 2 develop and test strategies focusing technology to improve educational outcomes and family involvement in the education of minority students. The project will provide active involvement from all of the institutions to foster more educational programming for minority families. This active involvement will develop into a unified presence in the community. Indiana University Bloomington, IN $29,976 Three organizations which are part of the Indiana University system, Hilltop Garden and Nature Center, William Hammond Mathers Museum and Wylie House, will partner with the Center for Behavioral Health on The Therapeutic Potential of Museums: A Collaboration for Development and Study. This project seeks to establish an ongoing collaboration to develop and study the therapeutic potential of museums for adults and families in Bloomington, Indiana. This effort joins the skills and resources of the three museums, three divisions of the Center for Behavioral Health, a non-profit mental health care agency which work with seriously mentally ill adults, older adults, and persons living with HIV/AIDS, and a facilitation and research team from Indiana University's Department of Recreation, with expertise in museum interpretation and visitor studies. This partnership will establish a collaboration that will contribute to the mental health of adult and family clients through the creation and delivery of therapeutic museum experiences. It will enhance the well-being of the Bloomington community by bringing humanities experience to diverse populations. This is an experimental program which will create a forum for examining and advancing the use of museums in therapy. Minnesota Children's Museum St. Paul, MN $30,000 The Minnesota Children's Museum in collaboration with Ramsey Action Program Head Start and the St. Paul Public Library will conduct FACETS: Families And Communities Educating Together. The project will bring parents together to plan educational family activities involving reading. The Minnesota Children's Museum seeks to develop and test a long-term model that will empower parents to find and use enriching educational experiences for their children. The objectives of the partnership are to identify parent needs and interests as well as, obstacles and incentives to active involvement in their children's learning, introduce Ramsey Action Program families to educational family resources and cultivate parents as leaders and decision makers in family programs and activities. The project should serve as a model for community engagement that involves parents directly and can be used with other parent groups, communities, and neighborhoods. Museum of History and Industry Seattle, WA $28,489 Seattle's Museum of History and Industry, in collaboration with the Seattle Public Library, will receive a planning grant to develop and test Nearby History, a history interest program led by a museum historian that will bring together at branch libraries neighborhood residents who are curious about the past. 3 This program's goals are to raise the level of historical understanding in the community by reaching a multi-generational audience, offer access to the museum's programming in history learning, discussion and presentation, increase knowledgeable use of the library's resources, and strengthen collaboration between the museum and library in this and future projects. The Nearby History planning grant will enable the library and museum to develop further their processes of partnership, looking toward ongoing and systemic relationships that enhance one another's long-range goals. The Museum of History and Industry hopes to implement the Nearby History at a larger circle of branch libraries in 1998 1999, and to present the project at professional conferences, in journal publications and on their web site. Museum of Science and Industry Tampa, FL $25,318 The Museum of Science and Industry, Hillsborough County Head Start and the Hillsborough County Public Library (both have a branch located on MOSI's site) will collaborate on a joint planning process to identify how best to serve the needs of the teachers, parents and families of Head Start students. The partners will choose, design, pilot and evaluate the project to be certain it meets the audience's needs and is consistent with the educational missions and community focus of all three collaborators. Working together, the partners identified the highest priority goals. The goals for the collaborative project are: Encouage parents and teachers' appreciation for the value of math, science, technology, and literacy in various stages of childhood development; provide community-based activities which promote family unity, with meaningful science and literacy experiences for each family member, by the Library and MOSI; increase awareness by parents and teachers of ways science, math, technology, and literacy can enhance children's school success; and create a model of collaboration that can be applied to other organizations in providing science, math, technology and literacy readiness. Western Heritage Center Billings, MT $30,000 Working with the Yellowstone Heritage Partnership, the Western Heritage Center will develop the Electronic Field Trip Project. This pilot project will provide rich, thorough, interactive classroom experience for 10 classes throughout Yellowstone County, for each of two sites: Pictograph Cave State Park, and Chief Plenty Coups Museum and State Park. The Electronic Field Trip Project is a comprehensive regional initiative to provide better interpretation of the history, culture and natural resources in the Yellowstone River Valley region for families, students, and all visitors to the region. Ten teachers, who will be selected from the region, will work with the Western Heritage Center staff, Chief Plenty Coups Museum staff, and the Pictograph staff to develop custom, school-oriented Internet home pages for each of the two sites. The Home Pages will feature text, graphics, audio, curriculum guides, and suggested lesson plans. There will be password protected teacher access to download lesson plans and upload new lesson plans, ideas and suggestions. #### 4 NEWS ease Contact: Tania Said at (202) 606-4646 or [email protected] Mamie Bittner at (202) 606-4648 or [email protected] For Immediate Release: INSTITUTE MS endlibrary TEOSMUSEUM SERVICES August 22, 1997 FEDERAL FUNDING AGENCY AWARDS OVER $370,000 TO MUSEUM FIELD TO IMPROVE PROFESSION INSTITUTE Washington, DC--Today Diane Frankel, Director of the Institute of Museum and of MUSEUM Library Services (IMLS), announced the 13 recipients of the 1997 Professional Services Program (PSP) (see attached list). IMLS received 23 PSP applications and LIBRARY requesting $673,949 to support projects to enhance museum association services SERVICES and funded 57% of them. Of the funded organizations, state associations represent 62%, regional associations are 23%, and national associations are 15%. This year IMLS requested proposals that serve the training needs of small museums and proposals to enhance the role of museums in cultural tourism in addition to the types of projects supported in the past. Of the projects funded, 23% target the training needs of small museums and 31% address cultural tourism. Ms. Frankel said, "Serving museums of all sizes has always been a priority for IMLS. With this year's Professional Service Program awards IMLS continues its strategy to effectively serve small museums. Seventy-five percent of museums in the United States identify themselves as small. For these museums, museum associations, particularly their state associations, serve as resources providing information on professional museum practices and facilitating regional networks. By helping museum associations provide the tools these small institutions seek, IMLS can help small museums achieve their goals to increase their stability and meet the needs of their communities." Applications were evaluated by peer review. IMLS funds can be used to pay up to half of the total project costs.

Frankel, Director, Institute of Museum and Library Services and Larry Reger, Executive Director, National Institute for the of MUSEUM Conservation of Cultural Property awarded 160 grants to museums totaling and LIBRARY $820,940 to conduct general conservation assessments of their sites and collections. A conservation assessment provides an overview of a museum's SERVICES collections and environmental conditions, as well as its policies and procedures relating to collections care. The CAP program is funded by the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services. The National Institute for the Conservation of Cultural Property administers the program. Diane Frankel, Director of IMLS said, "I congratulate these museums. The activities they are pursuing today to care for their collections will help to ensure that tomorrow our children will be able to use these resources to learn about science, history, and art. This is an first-rate example of public-private partnership." "Museums are joining a growing number of museums throughout the U.S. that are learning to better care for their collections so they will be available for future generations." said Larry Reger, President, NIC. - CAP supports a two-day site visit by a conservation professional who conducts the assessment and writes the report. For museums located in historic structures, the grant also supports the on-site participation of an architectural conservator. CAP also helps institutions with living animal collections, such as ZOOS and aquariums, that do not already have an assessment of the animals' physical conditions and habitats. Botanical gardens and arboreta use CAP to assess the conservation needs of both their living and non-living collections. The CAP report will assist the museum by: Providing recommendations and priorities for immediate and long-term conservation action; facilitating the development of long-range institutional plans for the care and preservation of the collections; and serving as a fund-raising tool for future conservation plans. All museums interested in participating in CAP must apply directly to NIC by December 5, 1997. -MORE- A Federal agency serving the public by strengthening museums & libraries 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20506 Phone: 202-606-8536 Fax: 202-606-8591 About the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS)--IMLS is a federal grantmaking agency serving the public by strengthening museums and libraries.
