American Institute of Physics Grants to Archives
American Institute of Physics Grants to Archives We are
pleased to announce our 2013 program of Grants to Archives. The grants are
intended to make accessible records, papers, and other primary sources which
document the history of modern physics and allied fields (such as astronomy,
geophysics, and optics).
Grants can be used only to cover direct expenses
connected with preserving, inventorying, arranging, describing, or cataloging
appropriate collections. Expenses may include acid-free storage materials and
staff salary/benefits but not overhead or other indirect costs.
The 2013 grants are funded by the Friends of the Center
for History of Physics.
The AIP History Center's mission is to help preserve and
make known the history of modern physics and allied fields, and the grant
program isintended to help support significant work to make original sources
accessible to researchers. Preference will accordingly be given to medium size
or larger projects for which the grant will be matched by the parent
organization or other sources.
We also offer Grants-in-Aid<http://www.aip.org/history/grants.html>
for History of Modern Physics and Allied Fields (Astronomy, Geophysics, etc.)
Applying To apply send a letter of no more than three pages describing the
nature and research significance of the collection(s), plan of work, and
budget, along with preliminary inventory (if available) and staff vitae by
