Description: This class focuses on preparing for and writing grants for
digitization and/or preservation projects. Since most digitization and
preservation grants are refunded through the National Endowment for the
Humanities (NEH), the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS),
and the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC),
this session is based upon those particular granting entities'
requirements. Developing proposals for state, local, and foundation
funding sources will also be addressed. The workshop includes matching
your institution's project with the appropriate funding agency and
preparing to write a proposal. The majority of the day is spent covering
the elements of a grant proposal and practicing writing those elements.

Students will learn to properly choose and prepare a grant proposal
including, evaluating appropriate funding sources, project preparation,
and hands-on practice in preparing a proposal.
