Deadline: July 15, 2009: Applications for projects to unify, integrate, or aggregate humanities collections and resources are strongly encouraged.

Grants support projects that 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. To ensure that significant collections are preserved and available for research, education, or public programming in the humanities, applications may be submitted for the following activities:

Applicants may combine preservation and access activities within a single project or concentrate either on preserving or providing intellectual access to collections and humanities content. Projects to digitize collections may focus on the holdings of a single repository or multiple repositories. All digitization projects should be designed to facilitate sharing and exchange of humanities information.
