"Why don't you just apply for a grant?"
IMLS Inspire! Grants for Small Museums. $5K-$50K. For museums with budgets under $250K. My operation is definitely under $250K. But "individual" isn't a museum, regardless of how many filmstrips have come through. Federal tax dollars. #preservation #IMLS #grants #museums #archives #digipres
