This grant is a great opportunity for public libraries to digitize their archival collections and we want to be sure to spread the word. Tara Tara Carlisle Project Development Librarian Digital Projects Unit University of North Texas Libraries Denton, Texas 76203 940-565-3023 Grant Opportunity: Texas Cultures Online The University of North Texas Libraries is pleased to announce Texas Cultures Online, a project funded by the Amon Carter Foundation. In response to educators' expressed need for multimedia materials that support teaching about the many cultures of Texas, UNT seeks to digitize cultural heritage collections that represent the state's vast ethnic diversity. UNT is offering mini-grants, ranging from $500 - $20,000, to digitize collections of cultural significance and add them to The Portal to Texas History. The Portal to Texas History <http://texashistory.unt.edu/> is a digital gateway to over 100,000 historical documents, photographs, and publications belonging to partner institutions throughout Texas. Easy to search and explore, the Portal is a valuable resource for educators, students, and the public at large. To view the application, please see Texas Cultures Online. <http://www.library.unt.edu/digitalprojects/for-our-partners/portal-part ners/texas-cultures-online> Applications are due September 15, 2010.
