The Bookshelf is a free collection of reference material assembled by experts to help you preserve your collections. For a complete list of the Bookshelf publications, instructions about how to apply online, and important application details, visit www.aaslh.org/Bookshelf. Priority will be given to small institutions with collections, though large institutions are also encouraged to apply. This includes museums, art and historical, archives, libraries with special collections, nature centers, zoos, aquariums, and botanical gardens. The Bookshelf will be distributed free to 2,000 institutions. Over 800 institutions were awarded the Bookshelf during the first round. Over 90% of those who applied were winners! The retail value of the publications is over $800 and some publications can’t be found except in the Bookshelf.
