engage in simultaneous production of a broadcast program and interactive companion content in order to extend the educational experience of the program’s audience, use resources efficiently, and keep the humanities ideas at the center of the project as the broadcast program and the interactivity are designed;
engage public audiences interactively in exploring humanities ideas and questions by using new ways to contextualize, interpret, and distribute content;
result in large-scale, collaborative programs featuring multiple formats; and
build new programs around previously funded NEH projects using complementary formats that will add new dimensions to the original project, and take advantage of new formats and technologies to reach audiences that were not served by the original project.

British Library Endangered Archives Programme: Research Grants

The Endangered Archives Programme is offering a number of grants every year to individual researchers world-wide to locate vulnerable archival collections, to arrange their transfer wherever possible to a suitable local archival home, and to deliver copies into the international research domain via the British Library.

The specific focus of this Programme is upon archives relating to the pre-industrial stages of a society's development, whether in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, or even Europe.

These grants will be the primary means by which Arcadia will contribute to the urgent task of identifying, preserving and making accessible such archival collections before they are lost to international scholarship forever.
