Funding

The following private and federal agencies have either funded EAD projects in the past or the scope of their interest could include an EAD project.

Gladys Kreible Delmas Foundation: A private organization based in New York that supports grants primarily in the area of humanities scholarship, performing arts, and Venetian history and culture. The Foundation considers proposals for several areas - EAD would fit into the "Research Library Program" category. Delmas is particularly interested in cooperative projects.

Institute of Museum and Library Services, Library Services and Technology Act: Sponsored by the National Foundation for the Arts and Humanities, Institute of Museum and Library services (IMLS), funds are allocated to each state's library administrative agency based on census information. The State Library then re-grants funds to libraries within the state including academic, public, research, school, and special libraries.
