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.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12.8px;text-align:justify"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12.8px;text-align:justify">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).</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12.8px;text-align:justify"> </p></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12.8px;text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.8px;letter-spacing:0.4pt">Legacy Material Grants </span><span style="font-size:12.8px;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial">are assessed via a two-stage process: </span><span style="font-size:12.8px;border:1pt none windowtext;padding:0cm">Stage 1 is a submission of an Expression of Interest (EoI).
