Possibly of interest for some of the GLAMs you may be working with.

It would be good if we could persuade the funders to include mandatory, or at least recommended, open access as a stipulation for future awards.

Dear all, *with apologies for cross posting*

I thought list members would be interested to know about the TWA Digitisation Grant fund, which re-opens today.

The Digitisation Grant is aimed at UK archives (including business archives), special collections libraries and museums, and offers funding grants of up to £5000 for institutions to digitise their collections.

The fund will be accepting applications from today until 7th July and bids will be judged by a panel composed of: John Chambers - Chief Executive ARA; Claire Adler - HLF Appointed Expert Advisor; and Paul Sugden - Senior Digitisation Consultant.

More details and how to apply can be found below: https://www.townswebarchiving.com/twa-digitisation-grant/

Best wishes, Ryan Kyle TownsWeb Archiving
