[ARSCLIST] ARSC Grants Program

[Bill Klinger <klinger@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, All!

The ARSC Grants Program supports projects, scholarship, and publication in
the fields of sound recording and audio preservation. 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
that form part of a job.

Applications for an ARSC Grant should include:
-- A summary of the project (one page maximum), with samples of the work, if
possible.
-- A budget covering the entire project and highlighting the expenses the
ARSC Grant will cover (one page maximum).
-- A curriculum vitae.
-- An indication of the prospects for publication or other public
presentation of the project results.

Applications should be sent to Richard Warren, Grants Committee Chairman,
Historical Sound Recordings, Yale University Library, P. O. Box 208240, New
Haven, CT 06520-8240, U.S.A. The deadline for receipt of applications is
February 28, 2005.
