The EMC Heritage Trust Project is a new program designed to recognize  
and support digital stewardship of the world’s information heritage— 
in local communities.

Using the same criteria for excellence that guide the EMC Information  
Heritage Initiative, EMC now seeks people and projects that practice  
and inspire stewardship locally.

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

Examples of local efforts that the Heritage Trust Project supports  
include those that contribute to the digital curation and stewardship  
of:
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. (With  
the exception of fraternal organizations, political causes or  
candidates, or organizations that promote or practice discrimination.)

Download the application/nomination form and instructions from the  
site at  http://www.emc.com/about/destination/information_heritage/

Deadline for applications/nominations is November 30, 2007
Fee free to contact me personally if you have questions.

Best,

Dan
