[Ohiodig] Digitization Grant Suggestions

[PShumaker at library.ohio.gov]

Hi Noah,

You may consider applying for an LSTA Open Grant through the State Library of Ohio<https://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/lsta-grants/#AvailableGrants>, which are grants up to $4,999. "The LSTA Open Grant program will allow libraries to address a specific customer need or develop an innovative program idea. This program will allow applicants to apply a new method to solve a problem, build a program or service, and assist the library in carrying out its mission and plan while helping the State Library address LSTA goals. All projects must focus on the needs of a specific target audience."

-Penelope

Subject: [Ohiodig] Digitization Grant Suggestions

Dear All,

I have a potential digitization project and I was wondering if anyone might have some suggestions on which grants would best fit the project.

Our museum has a collection of 142 issues of aviation magazines from 1938 to 1946 that we would like to have digitized. I have found a partner in the Internet Archive's scanning program<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Farchive.org%2Fscanning&data=04%7C01%7Cpshumaker%40library.ohio.gov%7C208ea54f2de249f67b5508d917b460c6%7C50f8fcc494d84f0784eb36ed57c7c8a2%7C0%7C0%7C637566885763149635%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=XEmjWMcZZhY0rG%2BGwsSyhXm39aVo2%2B6fsVQ36rDtLIo%3D&reserved=0>. The final cost is $1,837.68. (For reference, the math is 142 issues at $3.00 per issue and 11,764 pages at $0.12 per page.)

The only grant I have applied for (and received) before was the Alliance Digitization Grant<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fohiolha.org%2Fwhat-we-do%2Fgrants%2Falliance-digitization-grants&data=04%7C01%7Cpshumaker%40library.ohio.gov%7C208ea54f2de249f67b5508d917b460c6%7C50f8fcc494d84f0784eb36ed57c7c8a2%7C0%7C0%7C637566885763159588%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=kzOoHqvdorltQaaP07WLg3PyEnjO8BC1wfeoxnAv%2BxE%3D&reserved=0>. However, it is not applicable in this situation because the collection is not specifically Ohio related and the plan does not involve uploading the content to Ohio Memory.

Sincerely,
Noah Stegman Rechtin
