The Digitizing Hidden Special Collections and Archives program, administered by the Council on Library and Information Resources, provides support to digitize rare and unique content stewarded by collecting organizations in the U.S. and Canada.
The focus of the 2023-24 call for proposals, Amplifying Unheard Voices, is to support efforts to digitize rare and unique historical and cultural materials in a variety of formats that deepen public understanding of the histories of people of color and other communities and populations whose work, experiences, and perspectives have been insufficiently recognized or unattended. Nonprofit, academic, independent, and community-based organizations, as well as government entities, in the U.S. and Canada that collect, preserve, and share rare and unique materials with the general public are eligible to apply.
