Providence Public Library (Building)
Name: Providence Public Library
Abstract: Our NEH Infrastructure and Capacity Building Challenge Grant supported critical capital improvements to Providence Public Library’s (PPL) Special Collections Department, including a holistic facilities renovation resulting in our Special Collections being housed in a more user friendly, inviting, easily monitored, and climate controlled space. Our NEH grant has helped ensure that these invaluable humanities resources are properly preserved and openly accessible to the public and researchers for decades to come. The specific scope of work to achieve these goals included significant expansions to our Special Collections storage, research, and gallery space, as well as HVAC and climate control upgrades to ensure the continued integrity of these priceless materials.
