This department is offering grants for digitizing nationally significant historical record collections. Projects must digitize entire collections or series from historical repositories and reuse existing descriptive material as metadata for the digital versions. Grant amounts range from $1 to $150,000 for 1 to 3 years. Cost sharing is required. Applicants should demonstrate the national significance of the collections, provide cost-effective work flow plans, ensure sustainable preservation, and evaluate the use of the digitized materials. Final applications should be submitted through Grants.gov, with optional drafts sent via email.

| Description: | The Commission seeks proposals that use cost-effective methods to digitize nationally significant historical record 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. To make these projects as widely useful as possible for archives, historical repositories, and researchers, the applications must demonstrate:1. The national significance of the collections or records series to be digitized; 2. An effective work flow that repurposes existing descriptive material, rather than creating new metadata about the records; 3. Reasonable costs and standards for the project as well as sustainable preservation plans for the resulting digital records; 4. Well-designed plans that evaluate the use of the digitized materials and the effectiveness of the methods employed in digitizing and displaying the materials.Projects may not use grant funds to create descriptive metadata or edited transcriptions of the digitized materials. Award Information: A grant normally is for 1 to 3 years and up to $150,000. The Commission expects to make up to 5 grants in this category, for a total of up to $400,000. Cost Sharing: Cost sharing is required. It is the financial contribution the applicant pledges to the cost of a project. Cost sharing can include both direct and indirect expenses, in-kind contributions, non-Federal third-party contributions, and any income earned directly by the project. The NHPRC will provide up to 50 percent of the total project costs.Before beginning the process, applicants should review full grant announcement (linked below) and the rules and regulations governing NHPRC grants under the Administering an NHPRC Grant section. Note: Optional draft applications should be emailed to Lucy Barber at lucy.barber@nara.gov. Grants.gov should only be used to submit the final application. |
