Subject: ELDP Legacy Material Grants: Call for EoIs

 
The Endangered Languages Documentation Programme (ELDP) is pleased to announce
its first pilot grant round Legacy Material Grants. 

ELDP Legacy Material Grants are offered to support the digitisation and
archiving of legacy materials which are a rich resource for the documentation
of the world’s linguistic diversity and are in danger of being lost:
recordings of endangered or moribund languages in analogue format which are
not part of an existing repository. The collections that are the target of
these grants are in private hands or in small repositories without any access
to resources for digitisation. The collections may include audio and video
recordings (e.g., on tapes or reel to reel and so on), field notes, text
collections and photographs. Typically, these data were collected without an
archiving plan in place, and are in or about languages which are endangered or
no longer spoken. Legacy Material Grant projects may develop existing data
collections in a variety of ways with a view to making them accessible and
discoverable, but the primary focus must be on safeguarding and preserving
legacy materials through digitisation and archiving.

The maximum grant is £10,000. Legacy Grant projects last from 6 to 12 months;
projects can only be funded if the materials can be made openly accessible at
the Endangered Languages Archive (ELAR).
 
Legacy Material Grants are assessed via a two-stage process: Stage 1 is a
submission of an Expression of Interest (EOI). Stage 2 is an invited
application to shortlisted EOI submissions. The Invited Full Application of
stage 2 should be an elaboration of the EOI application. Significant changes
in the stated intention, aims or objectives of the research are not permitted.
The total budget requested in the Full Application should be the same as that
provided in the EOI.
 
If you have any questions please get in touch with us at eldp at soas.ac.uk.

This year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $79,000. This money 
will go to help keep the List running by supporting all of our 
Student Editors for the coming year.

Don't forget to check out Fund Drive 2016 site!

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the 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 Indiana University 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!
