[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

** With apologies for cross-posting **

Dear colleagues,

The British Columbia History Digitization Program (BCHDP) is seeking 
early notice from prospective 2022/2023 grant applicants. This will 
enable follow-up with applicants eligible for and interested in 
additional support during the grant application process.

*If your organisation is considering applying for a 2022/2023 BCHDP 
grant this October, please fill out this short Notice of Intent survey: 
*https://surveys.bceln.ca/limesurvey/index.php?r=survey/index&sid=499773&lang=en 


Early notice will be accepted until September 15, but the earlier notice 
you provide the more support we can provide. Early notice is not 
mandatory, but is expected to improve chances of a successful grant 
application.

Information provided in the Notice of Intent survey will only be used 
for follow-up, it will not form part of your application. Organisations 
eligible for and indicating interest in additional support during the 
grant application process will be contacted.

Support for eligible organisations can include assistance with: 
completing the grant application; project management; copyright 
advisory; connections to digitisation service providers; securing 
digitisation staff; preparing metadata; and hosting digitised materials 
in the Arca provincial digital repository.
