About the company
The Chester County Historical Society's Chester County History Center Division, a tax-exempt non-profit based in West Chester, Pennsylvania, receives federal grants for museum collection preservation, digitization, and interpretive exhibition work as a direct recipient (100% of awards as prime) from civilian cultural agencies. The organization operates exclusively as a grant recipient with no federal contract prime awards or contract vehicle positions; all sixteen awards in the source data are federal project grants.
The vendor's customer base concentrates entirely within three cultural agencies. The Institute of Museum and Library Services accounts for five awards, the National Endowment for the Humanities for six awards, and the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science for five awards, comprising 100% of tracked award activity. Recent IMLS work includes a $103,578 Museums for America grant (CFDA 45.301) awarded September 1, 2026, to conduct a conservation survey and improve care of 360 framed works on paper held at the Chester County History Center, with performance running through August 31, 2027. This award follows an earlier IMLS project grant (September 1, 2022, through May 31, 2026) that funded digitization of historical photographs and museum artifacts to increase public access online. An NEH project grant awarded January 1, 2026 (ultimate completion October 31, 2026) supported interpretive exhibition and display work around the American Revolution in Chester County, including a long-term display of a Chester County-made Revolutionary War cannon. An earlier IMLS National Leadership Grants award (November 1, 2021, through October 31, 2022) funded scanning and digitization of manuscripts, photographs, and artifacts to expand online collections and preserve materials as public-domain resources.
Activity is sparse and episodic — two awards in 2019, one in 2020, one in 2021, one in 2022, then a two-year gap before two awards in 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all sixteen tracked awards total $1.6 million. Two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and face renewal or recompete exposure in that window.
