The Center for Digital Antiquity is seeking proposals for projects that will contribute digital archaeological information, e.g., documents, data sets (databases and spreadsheets), images, etc.  to tDAR (the Digital Archaeological Record), an international digital repository.

Digital Antiquity grant funds for 2012 will support the direct costs of ingesting existing digital objects into tDAR, e.g.:

    personnel costs related to organizing files and other materials prior to uploading,
    costs to create administrative and substantive descriptions (i.e., metadata) for each file, and
    costs for uploading a copy of the digital file into the repository.

Grants are not available for digitization of archival data or for newly funded projects, which should include as part of their budgets funding for digital curation fees.

Cultural resource management (CRM) firms, public agencies, individual researchers, universities, colleges, and other organizations are invited to submit brief proposals using the outline and criteria described below.  Grants of up to $7,000 will be provided. Slightly larger awards will be considered for exceptional proposals.

Review of proposals will begin 15 May 2012 and will continue until funds are committed.
