The receipt deadline for either of these projects is 16 November 2010.
1. Enriching Digital Collections
These grants provide funding for up to three years of development in any of the following areas:
-
developing tools and infrastructure to enhance the use of digitized resources by humanities scholars
-
digitizing humanities collections that are relevant to the American or German scholarly community (or to both of them) for use in research and higher education
-
developing a detailed plan for the digitization of humanities collections that could benefit humanities research and performing a limited pilot digitization program to test shared infrastructure and procedures
-
connecting existing split digitized collections and detailing suitable transatlantic standards and communication strategies
-
creating a virtual archive or resource that would join complementary materials (analog or digital) internationally.
2. Bilateral Symposia and Workshops
Proposals for Bilateral Symposia or Workshops may focus on any area of the digital humanities. Eligible areas include but are not limited to:
-
capacity building or networking to prepare for future collaborative humanities projects based around a single theme, technology, media form, or scholarly discipline
-
comparing and discussing the needs of researchers in both Germany and the U.S. and their uses of digitized resources
-
exploring existing and possible uses of information technology in the humanities in both communities.
