[pdb-discuss] [FWD: ARSC announces new Preservation Grants Program]

[Rufus Pollock]

We should look at making an application a grant from the program listed 
below perhaps in collaboration with the European Archive.

Is there anyone who would volunteer to write a first draft of the proposal?

Regards,

Rufus

--- ARSC ANNOUNCES NEW PRESERVATION GRANTS PROGRAM ---

Proposal deadline: April 30, 2006


The ARSC Program for the Preservation of Classical Music Historical
Recordings was founded by Al Schlachtmeyer and the ARSC Board of
Directors to encourage and support the preservation of historically
significant sound recordings of Western Art Music by individuals and
organizations. (This program is separate from the ARSC Research Grants
Program, which supports scholarship and publication in the fields of
sound recording research and audio preservation.)

The ARSC Program for the Preservation of Classical Music Historical
Recordings will also consider funding:

-- Projects involving preservation, in any valid and reasonable fashion,
such as providing a collection with proper climate control, moving a
collection to facilities with proper storage conditions, re-sleeving a
collection of discs, setting up a volunteer project to organize and
inventory a stored collection, rescuing recordings from danger, copying
recordings from endangered or unstable media, etc.

-- Projects promoting public access to recordings.

-- Projects involving commercial as well as private, instantaneous
recordings.

-- Projects involving collections anywhere in the world. (Non-U.S.
applicants are encouraged to apply.)

The program is administered by an ARSC Grants Committee including the
chairman, a member of the ARSC Technical Committee, a member of the ARSC
Associated Audio Archives Committee, and an expert on classical music.

Grant amounts generally range from $2,000 to $10,000. Grant projects
should be completed within 24 months. Written notification of decisions
on projects will be made approximately three months after the submission
deadline.
