ASSOCIATION FOR RECORDED SOUND COLLECTIONS

GRANTS PROGRAM


The Association for Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC) Grants Program is designed to encourage and support scholarship and publication by individuals in the field of sound recordings or audio preservation.  Specific projects eligible for support include discography, bibliography, historical studies of the sound recording industry and its products, and any other subject likely to increase the public's understanding and appreciation of the lasting importance of recorded sound. Recipients are encouraged to submit articles about their projects to be considered for
publication in the ARSC Journal.

Both ARSC members and non-members are eligible for grants in amounts up to $1000.  Grant funds can be used to underwrite clerical, travel, and editorial expenses; funds may not be used to purchase capital equipment or recordings, to reimburse applicants for work already performed, or to support projects which form part of a job or academic program.  Grant recipients are required to submit brief descriptions of their projects for publication in the ARSC Journal & documentation of their expenses before
reimbursement; and funds must be disbursed within eighteen months of the grant award.

Applications for an ARSC grant should include:

1. A summary of the project (one page maximum), with samples of the work attached if possible,

2. A budget covering the entire project and highlighting the expenses the ARSC grant will cover (one page maximum),

3. A curriculum vitae,

4. An indication of the prospects for publication or other public
presentation of the project results.

Applications should be sent to Grants Committee Chairman Richard Warren, Historical Sound Recordings, Yale University Library, P. O. Box 208240, New Haven, CT 06520-8240, U.S.A.  The deadline for receipt of applications is February 28, 2001. Grants will be awarded at the ARSC Board of Directors
meeting held each spring in conjunction with the ARSC Annual Conference.
