Grants of up to $10,000 for processing Physics, Astronomy and Geophysics
Collections
The Center for History of Physics, American Institute of Physics, is
pleased to announce its 2006 Grants to Archives. The deadline for
applications is August 1, 2006. The grants are intended to make accessible
records, papers, and other primary sources which document the history of
modern physics and allied fields (such as astronomy, geophysics, and
optics). Grants may be up to $10,000 each and can be used to cover direct
expenses connected with preserving, inventorying, arranging, describing,
or cataloging appropriate collections. Expenses can include staff
salaries/benefits and archival storage materials but not overhead or
equipment.
The AIP History Center's mission is to help preserve and make known the
history of modern physics, astronomy, and allied sciences, and the grant
program is intended to help support significant work to make original
sources in these fields accessible to researchers. Preference will
accordingly be given to medium size or larger projects for which the grant
will be matched by the parent organization or other funding sources. For
grant guidelines check the Center's Web site at
http://www.aip.org/history/grntgde.htm or call 301 209-3165. Inquiries
are welcome, and sample proposals are available on request. A list of
previous recipients is on our Web site.
Deadline for receipt of applications is August 1, 2006.
