NEH Grant Opportunity - Humanities Collections and Reference Resources
The Division of Preservation and Access of the National Endowment for
the Humanities is accepting applications for grants in its Humanities
Collections and Reference Resources program. These grants support
projects to preserve and create intellectual access to such collections
as books, journals, manuscript and archival materials, maps, still and
moving images, sound recordings, art, and objects of material culture.
Awards also support the creation of reference materials, online
resources, and research tools of major importance to the humanities.
Maximum awards are $350,000 for up to three years.
Eligible activities include:
* arranging and describing archival and manuscript collections;
* cataloging collections of printed works, photographs, recorded
sound, moving images, art, and material culture;
* providing conservation treatment for collections (including
mass deacidification);
* digitizing collections;
* preserving and improving access to born-digital sources;
* developing databases, virtual collections, or other electronic
resources to codify information on a subject or to provide integrated
access to selected humanities materials;
* creating encyclopedias;
* preparing linguistic tools, such as historical and etymological
dictionaries, corpora, and reference grammars
* developing tools for spatial analysis and representation of
humanities data, such as atlases and geographic information systems
(GIS); and
* designing digital tools to facilitate use of humanities
resources.
