Eric DeLony Industrial Heritage Preservation Grant Fund Committee
Mission
To advise the SIA Board on the selection of Eric DeLony Industrial Heritage Preservation Grant Fund (‘DeLony Grants’). All recommendations are to be submitted to the Board for its approval.
The Society for Industrial Archeology offers Industrial Heritage Preservation Grants (DeLony Grants) from $1000 to $3000 for the study, documentation, recordation, preservation and/or interpretation of significant historic industrial sites, structures, and objects. Awards are made to nonprofit organizations and qualified individuals. Grants require at least a one-to-one match. Contributions of in-kind services, as well as monies from sponsoring and cosponsoring agencies may qualify for matching purposes. Funds may be used for a range of projects including, but not limited to: increasing public awareness of preservation efforts, photography, videography, preparing inventories and developing measured drawings of extant significant industrial sites, structures, maritime facilities and industrial artifacts. Grant recipients must agree to prepare a written summary of their project suitable for publication in either the SIA Newsletter and/or the Society’s scholarly journal.
