We want to make the California MCN members aware of a competitive grant opportunity for all California libraries with special collections, including public, academic and ones in museums. It is named the Local History Digital Resources Project (LHDRP) and makes it easy to get a library?s cultural heritage materials online.
If their library is awarded this LSTA grant, it will receive funding to scan 200 items, as well as free training on copyright, metadata, and CONTENTdm. Their images will have great visibility when made freely available on the Online Archive of California and Calisphere. And their community will value the service they provide in collecting and preserving its history! Share your collections and build support with LHDRP The LHDRP application process is short and painless. Just tell us what you want to digitize and its relevance to California history. The application materials for LHDRP 2011-12 is available on the CSL LSTA application page: http://www.library.ca.gov/grants/lsta/apply.html The due date is April 1st Attached is a flyer which we hope you will share with all who might be interested especially to your list serv.
