The Center for History of Physics,  American Institute of Physics, is
pleased to announce its 2001 Grants to Archives program.  The deadline for
applications is July 1.  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 may be up to $10,000 each and can be used to cover direct expenses
connected with preserving, inventorying, arranging, describing, or
cataloging appropriate collections.  Expenses may include staff
salaries/benefits and acid-free storage materials but not overhead or
equipment.

The AIP History Center's mission is to help preserve and make known the
history of modern physics and allied fields, and the 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 by the parent
organization or other sources.

For grant guidelines check our Web site at

or call 301 209-3165.  Sample proposals are available on request, and a list
of previous recipients is on the Web site. 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, 2001 to:  Joe Anderson, Center for
History of Physics, American Institute of Physics, One Physics Ellipse,
college Park, MD 20740-3843; fax 301 209-0882; e-mail  rja@aip.org.

Deadline for receipt of applications is July 1, 2001   The Grants to
Archives are funded by the Friends of the Center for History of Physics.
The program is offered annually as funds permit.
