CLIR Receives $2.7 Million for New Program to Preserve Recordings at Risk
The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has awarded the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) $2,725,000 for a regranting program to digitize "at risk" audio and audiovisual materials of high scholarly value. The program will run four competitions between January 2017 and September 2018, awarding a total of $2.3 million.
To help develop guidelines and criteria for the new regranting program, CLIR will issue a pilot call for proposals, in partnership with NEDCC, in January 2017. The pilot call will focus only on the reformatting of magnetic audio media to be digitized through NEDCC's expanded audio preservation service. CLIR will convene an independent review panel to assess applications. After review, CLIR will disburse a total of $150,000, in awards ranging from $5,000 to $25,000, to cover direct costs of audio reformatting services provided by NEDCC.
Following the initial competition for audio reformatting at NEDCC, CLIR will launch a series of three open competitions, disbursing $2.15 million in funds over two years. Calls for proposals will be issued in June 2017, December 2017, and May 2018. Awards from the open competitions will range from $10,000 to $50,000 and will cover direct costs of preservation reformatting for audio and audiovisual content by eligible institutions working independently or with qualified service providers.
