(Deadlines: November 3, 2006 for preliminary applications)<BR><BR>The Endangered
Archives Programme of the British Library supports the preservation and copying
of important but vulnerable archives throughout the world by making grants to
individual researchers to locate relevant collections, to arrange their transfer
to suitable local archival home where possible, and to deliver copies to the
British Library and a local institution for the benefit of researchers
worldwide. Pilot projects are particularly welcomed, to investigate the survival
of archival collections on a particular subject, in a discrete region, or in a
specific format, and the feasibility of their recovery. Archives will be
interpreted widely to embrace not only rare printed sources (books, serials,
newspapers, ephemera) and manuscripts in any language, but also visual materials
(drawings, paintings, prints, posters, photographs), audio or video recordings,
digital data, and even other artifacts in association with a documentary
archive. Archival materials will be assessed by their relevance as source
materials for the pre-industrial stage of a society's history.<BR><BR>DEADLINES:
November 3, 2006 for preliminary applications; February 23, 2007 for invited
proposals<BR></FONT><A
