Processing grants for physics, astronomy and geophysics collections



The Center for History of Physics of the American Institute of Physics is
pleased to announce its
2000 program of Grants to Archives. The grants are intended to make
accessible records, papers,
and other primary sources which document the history of modern physics and
allied fields (such as
astronomy, geophysics, and optics). Grants can be up to $10,000 each and
can be used only to
cover direct expenses connected with preserving, inventorying, arranging,
describing, or cataloging
appropriate collections. Expenses may include acid-free storage materials
and staff salary/benefits but
not overhead.

The AIP History Center's mission is to help preserve and make known the
history of modern physics
and allied fields, and this grant program is intended to help support
significant work to make
original sources accessible to researchers. Preference will accordingly be
given to medium size or
larger projects for which the grant will be matched from other sources or
by the parent organization.
To apply send a letter of no more than three pages describing the nature
and research significance of
the collection(s), plan of work, and budget, along with preliminary
inventory (if available) and staff
vitae by July 1, 2000 to: Joe Anderson, Center for History of Physics,
American Institute of Physics,
One Physics Ellipse, College Park, MD 20740; fax 301-209-0882; e-mail:
rja@aip.org.

The 2000 grants are funded by the Friends of the Center for History of
Physics.

programs, check our Web site at

Deadline for receipt of applications is July 1, 2000. The program is
offered annually as funds permit.
