NATIONAL ANTHROPOLOGICAL ARCHIVES  of the Smithsonian Institution
is pleased to announce a new opportunity to make digital copies of historic manuscripts more widely available thanks to a grant from Save America's Treasures.

The Bureau of American Ethnology manuscript collection, long recognized as a national treasure, has received a grant from Save America's Treasures that provides matching funds for preservation and digitization of collection materials. Grant funds will be available over the next two years to cover half of the cost of digital images of BAE materials in the NAA. During this period digital copies of manuscript materials covered by the grant can be ordered in PDF form for as little as $3.75 per page, when the entire manuscript is requested.

This collection includes extensive language documentation as well as a wealth of cultural knowledge recorded in the late 19th and early 20th century. You can explore the online database (siris-archives.si.edu) to discover NAA holdings - or ask the archives (njokud at si.edu<mailto:njokud at si.edu>) to help you find resources and see if they are covered by this grant.
