Dear friends and colleagues,

I'm serving as a judge for this program.  Grants are no-strings- 
attached.  Application is easy.

This summer, EMC Corporation(www.emc.com)  launched the EMC Heritage  
Trust Project, a new program designed to recognize and support  
digital stewardship of the world’s information heritage—in local  
communities. (See http://www.emc.com/about/destination/ 
information_heritage/heritage_trust/     )

	Using the same criteria for excellence that guide the EMC  
Information Heritage Initiative (see http://www.emc.com/about/ 
destination/information_heritage/index.jsp)  EMC now seeks people and  
projects that practice and inspire stewardship locally.

	The awards consist of cash grants from $5,000 to $15,000 made to:

local libraries, museums, or historical society collections
significant private collections of music, letters, or art
archives and records of local cultural or educational institutions  
and businesses
	Any local organization or institution (public or private) or any  
individual actively engaged in stewardship of the world’s information  
heritage may apply—or be nominated—for recognition and support.
