The Center for History of Physics of the American Institute of Physics 
is pleased to announce its 2000 program of Grants to Archives. The 
grants are intended to make accessible records, papers, and other 
primary sources which document the history of modern physics and allied 
fields (such as astronomy, geophysics, and optics). Grants can be up to 
$10,000 each and can be used only to cover direct expenses connected 
with preserving, inventorying, arranging, describing, or cataloging 
appropriate collections. Expenses may include acid-free storage 
materials and staff salary/benefits but not overhead.

The AIP History Center's mission is to help preserve and make known 
the history of modern physics and allied fields, and this grant program 
is intended to help support significant work to make original sources 
accessible to researchers. Preference will accordingly be given to 
medium size or larger projects for which the grant will be matched from 
other sources or by the parent organization. 

To apply send a letter of no more than three pages describing the 
nature and research significance of the collection(s), plan of work, 
and budget, along with preliminary inventory (if available) and staff 
vitae by July 1, 2000 to: Joe Anderson, Center for History of Physics, 
American Institute of Physics, One Physics Ellipse, College Park, MD 
20740; fax 301-209-0882; e-mail: rja@aip.org.

The 2000 grants are funded by the Friends of the Center for History 
of Physics.

For grant guidelines or for more information on the Center and its
programs, check our Web site at
http://www.aip.org/history/grntgde.htm, or call 301-209-3165.

Deadline for receipt of applications is July 1, 2000. The program is
offered annually as funds permit.
