Subject: [RBMS] NHPRC Basic Projects conference calls

The National Historical Publications and Records Commission staff will hold
two conference calls to answer questions about its Archives: Basic Projects
grants.

In brief, the Commission developed this category because it is particularly
concerned that some historical collections in archives and repositories are
difficult for most researchers to find because they are not processed or
represented in national catalogs.  As a result, the Commission seeks
proposals
for projects that support backlog processing and collections cataloging,
phased preservation, and/or collections development.

The full announcement is available on our website:
http://www.archives.gov/nhprc/announcement/basic.html

Applications are due on 7 October 2010.  NHPRC staff will review drafts that
are submitted by 2 August 2010. 

The dates and times for these calls are

Monday, 21 June @ 3:00 PM Eastern Time
Wednesday, 30 June @ 3:00 PM Eastern Time

The conference call will last one hour.  If you are interested in
participating, please send an email to Christine Dunham at
christine.dunham at nara.gov.   In the email please include your name,
affiliation and the date of the call in which you wish to participate.
Please also list the names of any other staff that may be listening or
participating on the call with you and whether or not you will need multiple
phone lines.  Due to a
limited number of available phone lines, we encourage staff in the same
location to share phone lines.	The conference call-in number will be
emailed out to registered callers once the call is full or at least one week
in advance of the call date.

We are limited to 25 participants on these calls.  

Please share this announcement with other appropriate individuals and
listservs.
