Opportunity Summary:
The 2014 Continue Billings Archives Partnership (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0092) is a National Park Service discretionary cooperative agreement announcement tied to CFDA 15.954 (National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education). It is not an open call for proposals and not a solicitation for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the Woodstock Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was selected to carry out the work described under this partnership.
The project focuses on strengthening research support, collections documentation, and long-term preservation connected to the historic Billings estate and associated park resources. A major component is direct support for historians and researchers: the Foundation will conduct archival searches to locate references to park collections and historic resources and will facilitate access to relevant archival materials for ongoing research projects. This is meant to make it easier to identify, verify, and interpret historical information held in the Billings Archives and related sources.
Another central piece of the work is improving museum collections cataloging and accountability. The Foundation will assist with cataloging park museum holdings, specifically calling out textile, ceramic, art, and book collections. The Billings Archives and other supporting sources will be used to strengthen documentation, helping ensure that records about objects are more complete, consistent, and reliable, which in turn supports responsible stewardship of historic resources.
The partnership also addresses preservation needs within the archives themselves. The Foundation will rehouse archival materials to improve long-term protection and usability, with particular attention to correspondence, financial records and receipts, photographic images, and architectural drawings. Rehousing typically aims to reduce physical deterioration and make materials easier to find and handle, which improves both preservation outcomes and researcher access.
To modernize and standardize archival management, the project includes providing PastPerfect software for cataloging the Billings Archives. In addition, the Foundation will update the existing Billings Archives Finding Aid and create a new finding aid for the Billings Farm and Business records, improving discovery tools so that staff and researchers can locate materials more efficiently and understand the scope and organization of the collections.
The announcement anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with total funding of $155,800, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $155,800, and with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted and created on July 23, 2014, had a listed closing date of July 28, 2014, and was archived on July 29, 2014, reflecting that the selection had already been made rather than indicating an application window for competing proposals. The listed contact for access issues was Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, at 215-597-9153.
