Web Portal is Clearinghouse for Library Grant Resources Anyone looking for a one-stop shop of great grant resources, including lists of available grants and grantwriting tutorials, should check out the Salem's Library Grants Center. This free web tool is designed to help librarians navigate the world of library grants. Hundreds of grants are available to libraries of all types from local foundations, family trusts, small and large corporations, professional organizations, and the publishing community. The Library Grants Center is divided into three main sections:
Salem Press has a goal of keeping the Grants Center website as current and complete as possible, which it will use to pass along new opportunities. They also appreciate emails from anyone aware of grants not listed in the center. National Archives to Release 1940 Census Online The National Archives today announced its selection of Inflection (parent company of Archives.com) to design and host a free web site for the April 2, 2012 launch of the 1940 U.S. Census. This is very significant for sociologists, demographers, historians, political scientists and genealogists because it will mark the first time that the National Archives has released a U.S. Census online. On April 2, 2012, users will be able to search, browse, and download the 1940 Census schedules. For the release of the 1940 Census online, the National Archives has digitized the entire census, creating more than 3.8 million digital images of census schedules, maps, and enumeration district descriptions. Visit the National Archive's 1940 Census webpage or subscribe to NARAtions Blog posts for more information. |
