Last year NAGARA (the National Association of Government Archivists and
Records Administrators) sponsored a grant opportunity that resulted in
genealogically valuable records being scanned at one state historical
society and one county government even as you read this message.  A
session at the  2009 conference in Seattle, July 15-18, will review the
progress of these grants, with frank commentary from donors and
recipients.
 
Meanwhile, they're back!  NAGARA announces a new grant opportunity
(almost twice as large as last year's) to local, state, and federal
government offices for scanning historical records with genealogical
value.  Details are on the NAGARA home page.  Check out

Applications are due June 5, 2009.  Everything you need to know in
order to apply (including whom to contact for questions) is available at
the web page.  You can also send questions directly to

You could be the next lucky recipient of a digitization grant!
