NEH Preservation and Access Research and Grants

The Division of Preservation and Access of the National Endowment for the
Humanities will be accepting applications for grants in the Research and
Development grant competition.

Eligible projects may include efforts to:

*        Develop technical standards, best practices, and tools for
preserving and creating access to humanities collections.

*        Explore more effective scientific and technical methods of
preserving humanities collections.

*        Develop automated procedures and computational tools to integrate
humanities data in disparate online resources.

*        Investigate and test new ways of providing digital access to
humanities materials that are not amenable to standard modes of digitization.

NEH especially encourages applications that address the following areas:

*        Digital Preservation: how to preserve digital humanities
materials, including those for which no analog counterparts exist.

*        Recorded Sound and Moving Image Collections: how to preserve and
increase access to the record of the twentieth century contained in these
formats.

*        Preventive Conservation: how to protect and slow the deterioration
of humanities collections through the use of sustainable preservation
strategies.

The new guidelines, which include sample proposal narratives, may be found
at  http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/PARD.html.

The application receipt deadline of July 30, 2009 is for projects beginning
May 2010. All applications submitted to NEH must be submitted
electronically through Grants.gov; see guidelines for details.

Prospective applicants seeking further information are encouraged to
contact the Division at 202-606-8570 or preservation at neh.gov .

A list of recent R&D awards (2005-2009) is available by emailing
preservation at neh.gov.

Program staff will read draft proposals submitted six weeks before the
deadline.

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $60,000. This money will go to help 
keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

See below for donation instructions, and don't forget to check out our Fund Drive 
2009 LINGUIST List Restaurant and join us for a delightful treat!

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at  
https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to:
https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm

For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to 
donate by check, money order, or wire transfer, please visit:
http://linguistlist.org/donate.html

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such 
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non 
Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be 
offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers 
only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any 
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting 
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills 
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure 
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. 
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
