Opportunity Summary:
The "Catalog Backlog of History Objects" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00221) is a National Park Service notice describing planned funding to support cataloging work for the museum collections at Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA), in partnership with the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy (GGNPC). The core purpose is cultural preservation and cultural resources management: the park has a long-term goal of cataloging its entire museum collection, and this project is meant to kick off a multi-year effort focused specifically on the remaining uncataloged history objects. The cataloging work is framed as essential, practical stewardship that strengthens accountability and day-to-day management while also improving long-term preservation outcomes for unique cultural resources.
A major theme in the announcement is public benefit and access. GGNRA and GGNPC have a track record of using museum collections for educational programming, exhibits that help interpret park history for visitors, and even product development. By documenting and formally cataloging objects that are currently sitting in backlog, the project aims to make these one-of-a-kind items discoverable and usable for research, future exhibits, and a wider range of educational programming. The collaboration also supports youth and broader public engagement in cultural resource stewardship, tying behind-the-scenes collections work to hands-on learning and interpretation.
From an administrative standpoint, this listing is not an open competition. It is explicitly labeled a "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD" and states that it is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as public notice that the National Park Service will fund the project under an existing cooperative agreement with GGNPC.

The opportunity was posted August 7, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 30, 2014, and an archive date of September 30, 2014.
Funding details indicate an estimated total of $34,000 for the effort, with an award ceiling listed as $100,000 and an award floor of $1. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA number provided is 15.946 (Cultural Resources Management).
