In 2019, the Biblioteca de Arquitectura Santiago Iglesias, hijo, from the University of Puerto Rico, R\u00edo Piedras Campus, was awarded a National Endowment for the Humanities\u2019 Preservation Assistance Grant for Smaller Institutions, in order to condition and assess its Rare Books Collection (PG-266702-19).<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>The library\u2019s purpose of this assessment is to develop a long-term preservation plan \u201cto delineate our conservation needs by developing the proper strategies and actions to meet those needs. In so doing, we will be establishing a much-needed initial framework. This long-term plan will serve as a basic working tool during the coming years. In addition, the plan will justify to the University and funding agencies and foundations our preservation needs. It will also establish a future comprehensive plan for our invaluable collection pieces, many which are not found elsewhere. This activity, beyond attending to our particular needs, will also serve as a working model to other libraries in our Campus.\u201d\u00a0 (Jos\u00e9 E.
