In the United States, the National Historical Publications and
Records Commission (NHPRC) offers grants for the preservation of
historical photographic materials residing in not-for-profit
organizations, state, local, and tribal governments. Guidelines may
be had by contacting the Commission at

    nhprc [at] arch1__nara__gov

or, in Jim Moss's case, by contacting the Maine State Archivist, Jim
Henderson, at 207-287-5790.

More information about the Commission and its activities may be found on
our web site:
