COLORADO GRANT OPPORTUNITIES: COLORADO DIGITIZATION PROJECT



The Colorado Digitization Project is pleased to announce a second round of
grants. This winter we awarded 21 grants to 33 Colorado institutions.  There
is still some funds available for grants.  Have you always wanted to try
digitizing some of your collection?  If so apply for one of our $1,500
grants.  You will be able to digitize between 50-500 items from your special
collection or archives.  The CDP will provide training, access to a regional
scan center, as well as other assistance on your project.

Funded through LSTA and IMLS grants, the CDP will award approximately 8, 1-2
year grants to archives, historical
societies, libraries and museums for digitization of local
historical, cultural, scientific and governmental information.  As the one
of
major goals of the CD, is the furthering of collaboration between
archives, historical societies, libraries and museums, all proposals must
include collaboration between at least two of these type of institutions.

Details of the grant and the application can be found at
http://coloradodigital.coalliance.org/whatsnew.html by the end of this week.
