[BCMA] Documentary Heritage Community Program deadline for applications: Sep 4

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hi everyone,

 

I am sending you this message to bring to your attention next Friday's
deadline for the Documentary Heritage Community Program funding. This
program supports "the development of Canada's local archival and library
communities by increasing their capacity to preserve, provide access to and
promote local documentary heritage." I would highly encourage you to
consider applying for this for your organization.

 

I've added some information below to help you quickly see if your
organization might be eligible for funding. If so and you would like to
apply, or if you would like more information, please visit the Library and
Archives Canada site for DHCP found here
<http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/services/documentary-heritage-communities-prog
ram/Pages/documentary-heritage-communities-program.aspx> . Funding is
available up to $100,000 per project per year, with multi-year funding
available for amounts over $15,000.

 

Best regards and we look forward to seeing you at our upcoming conference,
