Accordingly, applicants are strongly encouraged to obtain additional funds for the project, either from their parent institution or from outside sources such as local and state funding sources, national foundations, and government agencies. While no specific amount of matching money is required, we will give first priority to applications that include such new funds. Grant funds can be used only to cover direct expenses connected with preserving, inventorying, arranging, describing, or cataloging appropriate collections. Institutions that receive grants are not eligible to apply the following year but may reapply in later years. The program is offered annually as funds permit.
Eligibility is limited to archival projects in the history of modern physics and allied fields.
All archival repositories in the U.S. and abroad may apply, including archives at universities, corporations, historical societies, government laboratories, etc. Individuals are not eligible to apply. Work not covered by this program includes oral histories, book cataloging, and digitization projects. Preservation microfilming and preservation reformatting of original audio-visual sources are eligible.
