If you have a project in need of financial support, see http://www.emc.com/about/destination/information_heritage/ heritage_trust/ 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.)
