Greetings,

 

We are excited to share this limited submission opportunity from the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR). The Recordings at Risk program supports professionals who may be constrained by limited resources and/or technical expertise to take action against the threats of degradation and obsolescence. These awards help cover the cost of preservation of rare and unique audio, audiovisual, and other time-based media of high scholarly value through digital reformatting. Harvard's Cambridge campus may put forward one nomination for this funding opportunity. More information about the award and internal selection process can be found in the synopsis and links below.

Recordings at Risk is a national regranting program administered by CLIR to support the preservation of rare and unique audio, audiovisual, and other time-based media of high scholarly value through digital reformatting. The program aims to help organizations identify priorities and develop practical strategies for digital reformatting, build relationships with partners, and raise awareness of best practices. Recordings at Risk has been designed to serve the needs of institutions without access to on-site facilities and without local expertise to support the digital reformatting of audio and audiovisual recordings; applicants are required to work with a qualified external service provider. Both the applicant organization and its collections must be located in the United States or an associated entity.

 

Awards cover costs of preservation reformatting for fragile and/or obsolete time-based media content by external service providers. Eligible media may include, but are not necessarily limited to, magnetic audio and video tape, grooved discs, wax cylinders, wire recordings, and film (with or without sound). An independent review panel, comprised of scholars in a variety of domains and technologists with expertise in digitization and digital preservation, will evaluate applications based on impact, urgency, potential for preservation, and approach to access.

 

*Recordings at Risk will run competitions annually through 2025; when exact dates are released for this cycle, they will be shared here: https://www.clir.org/recordings-at-risk/apply-for-an-award/. In the past, CLIR has also hosted an applicant question and answer session in early March.
