NHPRC Grants for Digitizing Historical Records Webinars

 

The National Historical Publications and Records Commission will be
hosting three webinars to answer questions about its Digitizing
Historical Records grants program. They will take place Wednesday,
February 20 at 3 pm EST; Monday, February 25 at 4 pm EST; and, Monday,
March 4 at 4 pm EST.

In brief, these grants support digitizing projects that use
cost-effective methods to digitize nationally significant historical
records collections and make the digital versions freely available
online. Projects must make use of existing holdings of historical
repositories, and consist of entire collections or series. The materials
should already be available to the public at the archives and described
so that projects can re-use existing information to serve as metadata
for the digitized collection. 

The full announcement is available at
http://www.archive.gov/nhprc/announcement/digitizing.html. Applications
are die June 11, 2013. NHPRC staff will review drafts submitted by April
1, 2013.
