Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00590
The grant opportunity titled "Upgrading Curation and Cataloging Collections of the Southeast Archeological" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00590) is a National Park Service initiative under the U.S. Department of the Interior aimed at improving the management and accessibility of important archeological collections held by the Southeast Archeological Center (SEAC). Structured as a cooperative agreement in the education funding activity category (CFDA 15.945), the project is designed to support hands-on collections work, especially the kind of detailed cataloging and documentation that museums and repositories rely on to make legacy archeological materials usable for research, interpretation, and long-term preservation.
The core purpose of the project is to continue cataloging and working through backlog collections from a set of historically significant excavations in coastal Georgia, with an emphasis on materials recovered during the 1930s Works Progress Administration (WPA) era. Specifically, the work targets Glynn County collections associated with SEAC Accession 562, which derive from WPA excavations overseen by archeologist Preston Holder, as well as a group of Chatham County WPA-excavated sites held under SEAC Accessions 249 and 176. The Chatham County sites listed in the notice include 9CH8 (SEAC Accession 249) and, under SEAC Accession 176, sites 9CH9, 9CH10, 9CH11, 9CH12, 9CH14, 9CH16, 9CH17, 9CH18, 9CH19, and 9CH35. In practical terms, this type of cataloging work commonly involves organizing objects and associated records, verifying provenience and context information, reconciling field notes or legacy labels, and entering standardized data into a collections management system so the materials can be reliably tracked, located, and studied.
This announcement is issued as a Notice of Intent to Award rather than an open solicitation, meaning it is not requesting applications and will be funded without full and open competition. The eligible applicant category identified is public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, reflecting the common model for this kind of collections-focused partnership where a university may provide professional expertise, student labor, or specialized facilities while coordinating closely with the National Park Service under the cooperative agreement framework. The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $108,000, indicating a relatively focused, project-specific effort rather than a multi-recipient program.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as targeted federal support to reduce a cataloging backlog for specific SEAC-held WPA-era archeological collections from Glynn and Chatham Counties, Georgia, improving their curation status and strengthening their long-term research and educational value through better documentation and collections control.Apply for P18AS00590
