Preserving materials

Many libraries and archives do not have the institutional affiliation or international connections to apply for funding to support the preservation of their materials. The organizations below may help.

Endangered Archives Programme
The Endangered Archives Programme (EAP) facilitates the digitisation of archives around the world that are in danger of destruction, neglect or physical deterioration. Thanks to generous funding from Arcadia, a charitable foundation that works to preserve cultural heritage and promote open access to knowledge, we have provided grants to almost 500 projects in over ninety countries worldwide, in more than a hundred languages and scripts.
Modern Endangered Archives Program
The Modern Endangered Archives Program funds projects that document, digitize, and make accessible endangered archival materials from the 20th and 21st centuries.
South Asia Open Archives
The South Asia Open Archives (SAOA), a subset of the South Asia Materials Project (SAMP), creates and maintains a collection of open access materials for the study of South Asia. This major collaborative initiative is aimed at addressing the current scarcity of digital resources pertinent to South Asian studies and at making collections more widely accessible both to North American scholars and to researchers worldwide.
