Project Proposal Form

Stay curious.
Ask for help.
Read.

6. Use the Feedback
“It sounds like an intriguing project.  I would suggest that you focus on the historical significance of the items to be digitized.  The focus of the LSTA grants is to assist libraries in their efforts to digitize their unique collections and make these collections available through Indiana Memory and the Digital Public Library of America.  The tone of this grant proposal is more on education than enhancing library collections.  It is a fine line, but critical when the review panel evaluates applications.”
