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 2007 Grants to Archives. The deadline for
applications is August 1, 2007. The grants are intended to make
accessible records, papers, and other primary sources that 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, 2007.
