Subject: Application period opens for Documenting Global Voices grants
To: Tao, Hongyin <tao at humnet.ucla.edu>

Dear Professor Tao,

 I’m delighted to share with you the news that the UCLA Library has just
launched a new international initiative that I hope will be of great
interest to cultural heritage organizations around the world.

Through Documenting Global Voices
<http://www.library.ucla.edu/documenting-global-voices>, the UCLA Library
will award grants to archives and cultural heritage organizations in Africa,
Central and Southeast Asia, the Caribbean and Latin America, and the Middle
East. The grants will enable the organizations to preserve at-risk cultural
heritage materials and make them publicly available online on a UCLA-hosted
website.

The first call for preliminary proposals opened on December 1, 2018, and
the application deadline is January 1, 2019.

 We’ve announced the initiative to major international news outlets, sent
information to Los Angeles consulates for countries in these regions, and
contacted colleagues to help us spread the word. However, we know that
those messages may not reach all of the organizations that would be
interested in applying.

Do you have your own mechanisms to reach these organizations, or can you
suggest other influential communications vehicles, such as listservs,
social media platforms, blogs, newsletters, and mailing lists? Are there
specific organizations you’d suggest we contact, and can you give us the
names of key staff members?

I welcome any suggestions and guidance you may have. Please reply to this
message or email the initiative’s mailbox directly at dgv at library.ucla.edu.

Thank you very much for your consideration and assistance.

Sincerely,

 Ginny Steel

UCLA Norman and Armena Powell University Librarian
