Indiana SHRAB Offering Archives Assessment and Digitization Grants
The archival assessment grant enables institutions to hire a consultant to analyze the conditions of historical records and report recommendations. Digitization grants are available for institutions to digitize specific types of records that may currently be at risk. The digitization of these documents will enable greater public access to these records through preservation and online availability. Applications must be received by email or postmarked no later than Friday, May 31, 2013 and may be found online at www.SHRAB.IN.gov. Grantees will be announced July 3, 2013. The State Historic Records Advisory Board was established in February of 2006 and is charged with being the central advisory body for historical records planning and preservation in Indiana. MORE GRANT OPPORTUNITIES "Pushing the Limits" STEM Grants for Small & Rural Libraries The CALIFA Library Group is opening a national search for 75 rural libraries to join a grant project funded by the National Science Foundation. “Pushing the Limits" aims to strengthen adult science programming and resources in small and rural public libraries and to enhance public interest and involvement in STEM topics -- science, technology, engineering, and math. The program launched with 20 pilot sites (phase 1) and is now being expanded to as many as 75 additional rural public libraries (in phase 2). In phase two, up to 75 public libraries in the United States will receive a grant of $2,500, program materials including videos, and will participate in an on-line training program. Online applications must be submitted by May 15, 2013. Grant Awards will be announced June 21, 2013. NEH Offering Civil Rights Programming Grants to 500 Libraries The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is offering grants of up to 500 libraries and humanities organizations to develop public programming around a set of four NEH-funded films that explore the history of civil rights in America. The Created Equal: America’s Civil Rights Struggle project was developed by the NEH to mark the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. Up to 500 communities across the nation will receive a packaged set of NEH-funded films on civil rights history, accompanied by programming resources to guide public conversations about the changing meanings of freedom and equality in U.S. history. As part of the NEH's ongoing Bridging Cultures initiative, the Created Equal: America’s Civil Rights Struggle grant program will encourage communities across the country to revisit the history of civil rights in the U.S. and to reflect on the ideals of freedom and equality that have helped bridge deep racial and cultural divides in American life. Each participating site will receive an award of up to $1,200 to support public programming exploring the themes of the Created Equal project. More information and the application form are available online. The application receipt deadline has been extended to May 15, 2013. State Library Seeks Candidates for Multiple Open Positions
