Hello and apologies for cross-posting! The Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) is now accepting applications from collecting institutions for the digital reformatting of audio and audiovisual materials, in its eighth call for the Recordings at Risk grant program. Generously funded by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Recordings at Risk is focused on digitizing “at-risk” audio and audiovisual materials of high scholarly value. For the eighth call, CLIR will award grants of between $10,000 and $50,000 for digital reformatting projects between 3 and 12 months carried out between May 1, 2021 and April 30, 2022. All audio and audiovisual formats are eligible, though applicants must partner with a qualified external service provider that can perform technically competent and cost-effective digital reformatting for the nominated format(s). The application deadline for the eighth call is January 29, 2021. CLIR will hold an informational webinar<https://clirdlf.zoom.us/webinar/register/8816028578815/WN_qNgKeHp9SfuSEMegkoHhsw> for prospective applicants on Wednesday, November 18 at 3:00 pm Eastern time. The application form and other resources can be found at: https://www.clir.org/recordings-at-risk/applicant-resources. Questions can be sent to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>, and we’ll be happy to answer them at the webinar as well. Thanks!
