Dear friends,

	EMC Corporation has long been a generous contributor of money,  
equipment and expertise for major projects in historical  
preservation . . . working with the Kennedy Library, the Shoah  
Project, the Smithsonian Institution, and many other equally  
distinguished institutions here and abroad.

	I've been asked to help on a new project . . . designed to support  
small libraries, archives, and museums, here and abroad . . . who  
need help digitizing their collections (to both enhance safety and  
access)

	The smaller grants will range from $5,000 to $15,000.

	Application is easy.

	And I'm one of the judges! (For more on me, see http:// 
www.co.loudoun.va.us/business/sciencecabinet.htm#Morrow . . . or  
http://www.theknowledgetrust.org/wordpress/?page_id=66 . . . . or

	For more on the Information Heritage Initiative (for those of you  
with larger projects in mind) . . . please see:    http://www.emc.com/

	For more on the local-resource-focused Information Heritage Trust  
program see:   http://www.emc.com/about/destination/

	For an application form for one of the $5K to $15K grants . . .  
click on the application-form notice in the upper right hand corner  
of the site noted above.

	Just in case . . . here's the text.
