The Endangered Archives Programme is offering a number of grants every year to individual researchers world-wide to locate vulnerable archival collections, to arrange their transfer wherever possible to a suitable local archival home, and to deliver copies into the international research domain via the British Library.

The specific focus of this Programme is upon archives relating to the pre-industrial stages of a society's development, whether in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, or even Europe.

These grants will be the primary means by which Arcadia will contribute to the urgent task of identifying, preserving and making accessible such archival collections before they are lost to international scholarship forever.

These grants support research and development projects that address major challenges in preserving or providing intellectual access to humanities resources. Applicants should define a specific problem, devise procedures and potential solutions, and evaluate findings. Successful proposals ought to have broad applicability to the humanities. NEH encourages applications that will explore new uses of digital technology in the humanities.

Eligible projects might:

* develop technical standards, best practices, and tools for preserving and creating access to humanities collections;
* explore more effective scientific and technical methods of preserving humanities collections;
* develop new procedures to create reference works; or
* improve the policies and practices of humanities research institutions affecting preservation and access on a national level.

NHPRC Digitizing Historical Records

The Commission seeks proposals that use cost-effective methods to digitize nationally-significant historical record collections and make the digital versions freely available on the Internet. Project must make use of existing holdings of historical repositories and be made up of entire collections or series. The materials should already be available to the public at the archives and described so that projects can re-use existing information to create metadata for the digitized collection. Applicants must have the permission of all relevant copyright holders, where possible.

To make these projects as widely useful as possible for archives, historical repositories, and researchers, the applications will be evaluated on:

  1. The national significance of the collections or records series to be digitized;
  2. An effective work flow that repurposes existing descriptive material, rather than create new metadata about the records;
  3. Reasonable costs and standards for the project as well as sustainable preservation plans for the resulting digital records;
  4. Well-designed plans that evaluate the use of the digitized materials and the effectiveness of the methods employed in digitizing and displaying the materials.

A grant normally is for 1 to 3 years and up to $150,000. The Commission expects to make up to 3 grants in this category, for a total of up to $300,000. The Commission provides no more than 50 percent of the costs of Digitizing Historical Records projects.

A classic, if a little pricey. Locally grown ingredients crafted into delicious dishes and a cozy atmosphere make the White Dog a popular place. And the little chachki shop nextdoor, the Black Cat draws you in after a lovely meal, drinks, or desert.

Ah, pub food! Stop in for a pint and some shepherd's pie, a brew and a burger, a sandwich and some slainte! It's all here, and if Philadelphia is the birthplace of American independence, then the New Deck is to America as Quizzo is to independence. Or something.  It won't matter after a few pints.
If you're half the nerd I think you are, you'll take the time to review the Bubble Tea and Tea menus online before visiting our beloved Bubble House. Good for you, smarty! There's a lot of selection, not only in terms of beverages, but also delicious lunch and dinner options, and cocktails, too!

The closest, easiest grab 'n' go for hoagies, soft drinks, coffee/tea, slurpee drinks, chips, etc.  It's on Chestnut St., near the south west corner of 36th. And there's a fee-free ATM inside!
Philadelphia restauranteur Stephen Starr's contemporary pan-Asian cuisine in a relaxed-yet-schmancy atmosphere.  Check out the menu, pick prepared plates circling the sushi bar on conveyor belt, or ask the chef to create your own sushi rolls.  You could go wrong, but it will be your own fault!
