Digitizing Historical Records: The Commission promotes the preservation and use of America's documentary heritage essential to understanding our democracy, history, and culture. The Commission seeks proposals to test and implement cost-effective methods to scan historical record collections and make digital versions freely available on the Internet. These pilot Digitizing Historical Records projects should develop models that can be used by other archives. Projects must focus on digitizing archival components that consist of nationally-significant materials. Archival components may be entire collections or series. The selected materials should already be processed so that projects can use existing information to create metadata for the digitized collection. The selected materials should include enough records to test the feasibility and value of disseminating large quantities of historical sources based on standard archival methods of description and arrangement (most likely using existing Encoded Archival Description finding aids). Goals of these projects are to produce:Entire collections or series useable online as digital images and Descriptions of methods and practices that other institutions can use to reproduce the results. This is a general guide to the Application Cycle: 1. October 2 - Deadline - Final proposal postmarked or electronically submitted. 2. November 2006 - Commission meets. 3. January 1, 2007 - Earliest possible starting date for project.
