CLIR is extending the deadline for Pocket Burgundy publication proposals by one week, to Wednesday, October 5.

 

This is a paid publication opportunity; selected authors will receive a $2,500 award for successful proposals and completed publications.

 

CLIR’s Pocket Burgundy publication series invites proposals on topics reflecting current concerns in the information and cultural heritage community: digital libraries, preservation, emerging technologies, and trends in information use, as well as topics in the information field(s) relating to social and racial justice, labor, intersectionality, accessibility, sustainability, building and maintaining community, working with culturally sensitive materials and marginalized groups, decolonizing the field(s), and the climate crisis. Submissions will be reviewed by a selection committee. A list of projects awarded in 2021 is available here.

Reports will be limited in length to 50 pages. All reports will be released in electronic form only and will be freely available on CLIR’s website.

Proposals are due October 5, 2022, and decisions will be announced in December 2022. Projects will begin no earlier than January 1, 2023, and complete drafts must be submitted to CLIR by December 8, 2023.
