Attention ye Stewards of small interesting priceless local  
collections in need of digitization help:

EMC recently 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. 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.

Supporting a range of projects.
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.

Application form at http://www.emc.com/about/destination/

Deadline in November.

Awards announced in February
