Advancing Knowledge: The IMLS/NEH Digital Partnership: The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the National Endowment for Humanities (NEH) invite proposals for innovative, collaborative humanities projects using the latest digital technologies for the benefit of the American public, humanities scholarship, and the nation's cultural institutions. These grants will support collaborations among libraries, museums, archives, universities, and other cultural organizations that may serve as models for the field. We encourage projects that explore new ways to share, examine, and interpret humanities collections in a digital environment and to develop new uses and audiences for existing digital resources. Eligible projects might * serve as models for how libraries, museums, and archives can collaborate with other humanities organizations; * use innovative approaches in digital technology to provide new perspectives on humanities collections, offer new interpretive contexts, and allow existing resources to be widely shared; * have interpretive elements that can assist scholars and/or the public in gaining new understanding of ideas and questions in the humanities; * advance the role of cultural repositories in online teaching, learning, and research; * develop collaborative approaches involving the scholarly community and cultural repositories for the creation, management, preservation, and presentation of reusable digital collections and products; and * examine and coordinate community-based approaches and standards for making resources available online. Successful applicants will be expected, as one of their work products, to create a "lessons learned" white paper. This white paper should document their project, including lessons learned, so that others can benefit from their experience.
