Humanities Collections and Reference Resources
The Division of Preservation and Access of the National Endowment for the
Humanities will be accepting applications for grants in its Humanities
Collections and Reference Resources program. These grants support projects
to preserve and create intellectual access to such collections as books,
journals, manuscript and archival materials, maps, still and moving images,
sound recordings, art, and objects of material culture. Awards also support
the creation of reference materials, online resources, and research tools
of major importance to the humanities. Maximum awards are $350,000 for up
to three years.
Eligible activities include:
* creating encyclopedias;
* preparing linguistic tools, such as historical and etymological
dictionaries, corpora, and reference grammars;
* developing tools for spatial analysis and representation of
humanities data, such as atlases and geographical information systems (GIS);
* designing digital tools to facilitate use of humanities resources;
* arranging and describing archival and manuscript collections;
* cataloging collections of printed works, photographs, recorded
sound, moving images, art, and material culture;
* implementing preservation measures, such as basic rehousing,
reformatting, deacidification, or conservation treatment;
* digitizing collections, or preserving and improving access to
born-digital resources; and
* developing databases, virtual collections, or other electronic
resources to codify information on a subject field or to provide integrated
access to selected humanities materials.
The new guidelines, which include sample proposal narratives, can be found
at: http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/HCRR.html. The application
receipt deadline of July 15, 2009 is for projects beginning May 2010. All
applications to NEH must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov;
see guidelines for details.
Prospective applicants seeking further information are encouraged to
contact the Division at 202-606-8570 or preservationneh.gov. Program staff
will read draft proposals submitted six weeks before the deadline.

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $60,000. This money will go to help
keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!
You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at
https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm
Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to:
https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm
For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non
Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be
offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers
only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny.
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
