The U.S. World War I Centennial Commission and the Pritzker Military Museum and Library have announced a new program to help people across the country restore and preserve local World War I memorials. 100 Cities/100 Memorials is a fund-matching program in which groups or individuals can: (1) identify local World War I memorials in their area; (2) put together a conservation treatment proposal for a memorial in distress; (2) submit their plan for consideration for matching grant funds; and (4) have the memorial treated by an accredited conservator, with communication help and possible matching funds. The details of the program, including guidelines and online application form, are available on the U.S. World War I Centennial Commission website.
