January 2011 Archeology E-Gram (Addition)

Grants for Digital Archiving
Digital Antiquity is soliciting proposals to support the archiving of
digital archeological data and documents in tDAR (the Digital
Archaeological record), a new international digital repository. Reports and
data shared through tDAR are made accessible on the web, and their long
term preservation is ensured.

CRM firms, public agencies, individuals, universities, colleges, and other
organizations are invited to submit brief proposals explaining the value of
the information to be contributed. Individual projects, regional archives,
and thematic research are all suitable. Grants will be awarded in two
categories: up to $2,000, and up to $10,000. There will be approximately 40
awards. Rapid review of proposals will begin February 25, 2011 and continue
until funds are committed.
