The Division of Preservation and Access of the 
National Endowment for the Humanities (an 
independent federal agency of the United States 
government) will be accepting applications for 
Reference Materials Grants and Grants to Preserve 
and Create Access to Humanities Collections on 
July 25, 2006.  Any U.S. nonprofit organization 
with 501(c)3 tax exempt status is eligible, as 
are state and local governmental agencies and 
tribal governments. Grants are not awarded to 
individuals.  Prospective applicants seeking 
further information are encouraged to contact the 
division's staff (at 202-606-8570 or at preservation at neh.gov). Reference Materials Grants support projects that 
create reference works and research tools, including:
*       databases and electronic archives that 
codify and integrate humanities materials, or 
provide bibliographical control of a subject or field;
*       print and online encyclopedias about 
various fields in the humanities or about a particular area or subject;

*       historical, etymological, and bilingual 
dictionaries for undocumented languages, as well 
as reference grammars and other linguistic tools 
(separate funding is available for endangered 
language projects 
<http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2005/nsf05590/nsf05590.htm> 
in partnership with the National Science Foundation);

*       descriptive catalogs that provide 
detailed information about humanities materials;
*       tools for spatial analysis and 
representation of humanities data, such as 
atlases and geographical information systems (GIS); and
*       digital tools specifically designed to 
develop or use humanities online resources.
The program guidelines can be consulted at 
http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/referencematerials.html . Grants to Preserve and Create Access to 
Humanities Collections fund the following 
activities:  cataloging; arrangement and 
description; documentation; preservation 
microfilming of brittle books and serials; mass 
deacidification of items not yet embrittled; 
conservation treatment; transfer of materials to 
more stable media; creating digital surrogates to 
enhance intellectual accessibility; creating oral 
histories; and conducting archival surveys.  The 
program guidelines are available at 
http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/pcahc.html .
All institutions applying for an NEH grant must 
submit their applications via Grants.gov.  Be
