Goals of the Program

The annual grants program aims to support collaborative and creative use of resources through the creation of digital content of enduring value to the Cornell community and scholarship at large.   The   Application process does not require any expertise - all you need is a "good idea" as the Library's visual resources team will guide you through the application process. The program, funded by the College of Arts of Sciences and coordinated by the Cornell University Library, was developed by the  Arts & Sciences Visual Resources Advisory Group.  Information about the Cornell University Library's visual resources services is available at:  http://images.library.cornell.edu

 Examples Examples of proposals that are within the scope of the grants program include:

• Creating new digital collections that are based on resources regularly used in teaching or research, including lecture notes, slides, photographs, printed documents, and manuscripts.
• Digitizing collections that are already held by the Cornell University, which are instrumental in supporting learning, teaching, and research at Cornell (Final selection of materials will be subject to ability to clear copyright, if required.)  View selected examples of sample collections. 
• Converting materials held by other cultural institutions that will support teaching and research at Cornell - especially combining dispersed resources to create new and enriched ones (Final selection of materials will be subject to ability to clear copyright, if required.).
