This is Part II of a series of posts highlighting recent white papers (Part I also available).

In the white paper, the grantee provides a summary of the grant activities, what they learned, recommended best practices, and even what they might have done differently. By making these white papers freely available, members of the public -- including other prospective applicants -- can learn from what has already been done and build upon it.

The NEH’s Division of Preservation and Access has recently released the guidelines for the program “Humanities Collections and Reference Resources.”  This program supports projects that preserve and create intellectual access to such collections as books, journals, newspapers, manuscript and archival materials, maps, still and moving images, sound recordings, art, and objects of material culture.  The grant can cover activities such as digitizing materials, cataloging collections, implementing preservation measures, developing databases, and many others.  Please consult the guidelines for more details. The deadline for this program is July 15, 2009.
