I have been asked to post this announcement on the ARCHIVES-NRA list.
American Institute of Physics Processing Grants Available for Physics,
Astronomy, and Geophysics Collections
The Center for History of Physics and the Niels Bohr Library and Archives,
American Institute of Physics, announce the 2009 Grants to Archives. The
deadline for applications is August 14, 2009. 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 14, 2009.
