Processing Grants for Physics, Astronomy, and Geophysics Collections
The Center for History of Physics, American Institute of Physics, is pleased
to announce its 2004 Grants to Archives program. The deadline for
applications is August 1, 2004.
The grants are intended to make accessible records, papers, and other primary
sources that document the history of modern physics, astronomy, geophysics, and
allied fields. Grants may be up to $5,000 each and can be used to cover direct
expenses connected with preserving, inventorying, arranging, describing, or
cataloging appropriate collections.
Expenses may 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 fields, and the grant program is
intended to help support significant work to make original sources 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 by
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 grant recipients is on our Web site.
Deadline for receipt of applications is August 1, 2004.
