The National Historical Publications and Records Commission
(NHPRC) and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation are pleased to invite
implementation grant proposals for Digital Edition Publishing Cooperatives.
Working together, the Cooperatives will develop technical and
human infrastructures to support the digital publication of documentary and
scholarly editions and to provide for their long-term preservation, discovery,
and use. This initiative responds to the urgent need of scholars and
documentary editors for reliable, sustainable, authoritative, and field-driven
outlets for publication and discovery of digital editions. At the same time,
the Cooperatives will work together to create and sustain one or more federated
systems for publishing and sustaining digital editions.
Several implementation grants of up to $1 million, for up to
three years, are expected to be awarded, for a total of up to $3 million.
Implementation grants will be awarded in December 2019, with a start date of no
later than January 1, 2020.
A full description of the program, including submission
guidelines and instructions, is available at:
