Subject: Archives Grant Program Available

 
The Council on Library and Information Resources, an independent, nonprofit organization whose mission is to expand access to information, however recorded and preserved, has opened the pre-proposal application period for its Cataloging Hidden Special Collections and Archives grant program. 
The program will award funds to institutions (including historical associations and societies as well as archives, museums, libraries, and other cultural heritage organizations) holding collections of high scholarly value that are difficult or impossible to locate through existing finding aids. Award recipients will create descriptive information for their hidden collections that will be linked to and interoperable with all other projects funded by this grant with the purpose of forming a federated environment that can be built upon over time. Funding for the program comes from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
CLIR expects to award about $4 million in total grants ranging from $75,000 to $500,000 each.
Go to http://www.clir.org/ for complete program information. The deadline is April 23, 2010 for pre-proposals. You must contact the Office of Sponsored Projects if you are interested in submitting an application, or if you have further questions: ospmail at si.edu or call 202-633-7110. 
For further information on this message contact:  OSP, Office of Sponsored Projects, x37110 (VoIP), 202-633-7110 (non-VoIP), OSPMail at si.edu.
