ASSOCIATION FOR RECORDED SOUND COLLECTIONS
GRANTS PROGRAM

The Association for Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC) Grants Program is 
designed to encourage and support scholarship and publication by 
individuals in the field of sound recordings or audio preservation. 
Specific projects eligible for support include discography, bibliography, 
historical studies of the sound recording industry and its products, and 
any other subject likely to increase the public's understanding and 
appreciation of the lasting importance of recorded sound. ARSC encourages 
applications from individuals whose research forms part of an academic 
program at the master's or doctoral level.

Both ARSC members and non-members are eligible for grants in amounts up to 
$1000. Grant funds can be used to underwrite clerical, travel, and 
editorial expenses; funds may not be used to purchase capital equipment or 
recordings, to reimburse applicants for work already performed, or to 
support projects which form part of a job. Grant recipients must submit 
documentation of their expenses before reimbursement, and funds must be 
disbursed within eighteen months of the grant award.
Grant recipients are required to submit brief descriptions of their 
projects for publication in the ARSC Journal. Recipients are encouraged to 
submit articles about their projects to be considered for publication in 
the ARSC Journal.

Applications for an ARSC grant should include:

1. A summary of the project (one page maximum), with samples of the work 
attached if possible,
2. A budget covering the entire project and highlighting the expenses the 
ARSC grant will cover (one page maximum),
3. A curriculum vitae,
4. An indication of the prospects for publication or other public 
presentation of the project results.

Applications should be sent to Grants Committee Chair:

conjunction with the ARSC Annual Conference.
