1. New York Department of Education

The first work on the state and local literature component of
the USAIN National Preservation Program for Agricultural
Sciences Literature was funded by Coordinated Preservation
Grant from the New York State Department of Education from
1989/90 1991/92 in the amount of $155,099. This enabled
Comell University to develop and implement the selection
methodology and microfilm 25% of New York's top-ranked
monographs and serials, thus laying the foundation for this
component of the USAIN National Preservation Program.

Phase 1 of the proposed Phase 2 project was funded by the
National Endowment for the Humanities for a period of two
years, July 1996 June 1998 in the amount of $850,000.
This enabled nine states to proceed to replicate the
methodology developed by Cornell in the previously cited
grant.
