-------------
The 2024 APE Digitisation Grants are out! This year we have combined the "Digitise & Upload" grant and the "Metadata" grant into a single Digitisation Grant - the focus is always on metadata, but we leave it up to the institutions to decide whether to also add the digitisation of the documents to the project, or only focus on the archival descriptions.
The Digitisation Grant offers up to 10,000 EUR to archival institutions that want to add new metadata to the Archives Portal Europe, and/or improve metadata already available in the portal, and/or add digital objects to collections available on APE (including the ingestion of new finding aids). The aim is to improve APE’s searchability, and to promote the open availability of digital collections on the web.
