The Center for History of Physics, American Institute of Physics, is 
pleased to announce its 2002 Grants to Archives program. The deadline 
for applications is July 1, 2002. 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 archival 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, astronomy, 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 by other funding sources.  For 
grant guidelines check the Center's  Web site at 
http://www.aip.org/history/grntgde.htm or call 301 209-3165.  Inquiries 
are welcome, and sample proposals are available on request.  A list of 
previous recipients is on our Web site. 

Deadline for receipt of applications is July 1, 2002.
