In addition to providing scheduled training and preservation services to the community of HBCU radio stations, the project aims to assist stations and their institutional archives/libraries in identifying immediate preservation needs and addressing them, if at all possible.
To that end, mini-grants of $250 to $2,000 are available on a first-come, first-served basis. These small grants may be used for the following activities:
Preservation:
to purchase archival file folders, archival boxes, storage shelves, dehumidifiers, humidifiers, hygrothermometers, or other materials necessary to aid in the organization and stabilization of archival materials.
Memberships:
in professional organizations that have a direct impact on the radio station or library’s capacity for preservation work (Society of American Archivists, Association for the Study of African American Life & History, state or regional history organizations) to obtain technical information and networking opportunities.
Professional Development/Travel:
to help offset the costs of attending relevant conferences and training opportunities.
