This department is offering the Preservation and Access Research and Development grant to support innovative projects that address major challenges in preserving or providing enhanced access to the nation’s invaluable humanities collections and resources. This grant is specifically for finding better ways to protect culturally significant materials, including fragile artifacts, historical manuscripts, vulnerable analog recordings, and digital assets prone to technological obsolescence. Additionally, it aims to foster the development of advanced modes for searching, discovering, and effectively using these critical resources. Applicants must define a specific problem, devise robust procedures and potential solutions, and explain how they will evaluate their projects and disseminate their findings. Project results are required to serve the needs of a significant number of humanists.
