Southwest Oral History Association
Mini-grants

The Southwest Oral History Association plans to
award a total of $750 in mini-grants in the year
2001. The mini-grants are
intended to encourage and support oral history in
the southwest region. Mini-grants may be used for
equipment, tapes,
transcription, editing, translating, publishing or
other oral-history-related expenses. They may be
used as seed money for new
oral history projects, or to complete existing
projects.

Students, teachers, independent oral historians,
libraries, schools, historical societies, museums,
and other non-profit
organizations are encouraged to apply. Preference
will be given to applicants from the region
represented by the Southwest
Oral History Association, which includes Arizona,
Nevada, New Mexico, and Southern California.

There is not an application form. To be considered
for a mini-grant, please submit the following:

1. A one-page cover letter which includes your
name, address, telephone number and e-mail
address. If you are applying on
behalf of an organization or institution, please
include the full name of the organization, as well
as its address and telephone
number.

2. A description of your oral history project and
an explanation of how a SOHA mini-grant would
benefit the project. Please
include the following information: the project’s
title; the project’s objective; background
information on the development of the
project; information such as the number of
interviews to be conducted, the expected length
and depth of the interviews, and
what will happen to the interviews after they’ve
been recorded; and a project timetable. Please
limit this description to no more
than three double-spaced pages.

3. A one-page budget for the project. Please
indicate the amount being requested and list other
sources of funding. Keep in
mind that SOHA will be awarding a total of $750,
and that it is very likely that this amount will
be divided among several
recipients.

4. One letter of recommendation from someone
familiar with the oral history goals of the
individual or organization making the
application.

5. A stamped self-addressed business-size (#10)
envelope.

The application deadline to be considered for a
mini-grant is October 15, 2001. Applications must
be mailed, and will not be
accepted via e-mail or fax.

Mail application materials to:
