Wendy Shadwell Print Conservation Grant

The American Historical Print Collectors Society (AHPCS) is once again offering conservation grants to museum institutions and other non-profits seeking to conserve historical prints in their collections. Institutions seeking funding to preserve American historical prints in their collections are invited to submit applications to the American Historical Print Collectors Society for a Wendy Shadwell Print Conservation Grant. The artwork to be treated must be at least one hundred years old and the institution must be a member of the AHPCS. Non-members seeking funding are encouraged to join the Society. For an online membership application form, please go to https://ahpcs.org/membership/

Wendy Joan Shadwell passed away on October 23, 2007. She was a long-time curator at the New-York Historical Society, the author of many scholarly articles, and a past president of the AHPCS. She left a substantial bequest to the American Historical Print Collectors Society to promote interest in American historical prints. An area of special concern to Shadwell was the “Preservation of Early American Prints,” and the board of the AHPCS established the Wendy Shadwell Print Conservation Grant Program to further that aim. Applications are accepted semi-annually with deadlines of March 31st and September 30th.

The goal of the program is multifaceted:

1) To help realize Shadwell’s mandate for the use of the funds for the “Preservation of Early American Prints”

2) To ensure that a few significant prints or works on paper over 100 years old will have a longer life

3) To provide a meaningful and directed impact on actual prints in small institutions that do not have on-site print conservation facilities

4) To have a grant program that is simple, straight forward and not overly bureaucratic

5) To help publicize the AHPCS and the Shadwell Bequest

6) To foster institutional membership

7) To encourage AHPCS members to more actively participate in the organization by being on a jury
