Writing Successful Grant Proposals for Preservation and Digitization
Projects

Thursday, November 3, 2005 - Berkeley Public Library
Friday, November 4, 2005 - University of Southern California - Doheny
Memorial Library

Co-sponsored by the California Preservation Program, Los Angeles
Preservation Network (LAPNet), Los Angeles as Subject Archives Forum,
Society of California Archivists and Califa.

This daylong session focuses on preparing for and writing grants for
digitization and/or preservation projects. Since most digitization and
preservation grants are funded through the National Endowment for the
Humanities (NEH), the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS),
and the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC),
the session is based upon those particular granting entities'
requirements. Developing proposals for state, local and foundation
funding sources will also be addressed.

The workshop includes tips for matching your institution's project with
the appropriate funding agency and preparing to write a proposal. The
majority of the day is spent covering the elements of a grant proposal
and practicing writing those elements.

Who Should Attend:
Library, archive, museum and historical society administrators and those
having responsibility for resource development in all types of cultural
institutions. Those in small archives and historical societies wishing
to participate in cooperative projects with larger institutions.

Agenda:
* Getting Started: Establishing a Grants Program

proposal including:
     * Evaluating appropriate funding sources

"There is no such thing as a self-made (wo)man. We are made up of
thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or
spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the makeup of
our character and our thoughts, as well as our success."
