Funding for Cultural Heritage Preservation
MEAP is committed to fostering open access to cultural and historical materials from around the world as a challenge to politicized and nationalized historical narratives that minimize or silence multiple voices and perspectives. We provide funding for digitization as a form of preservation for at-risk cultural heritage from parts of the world with limited resources for archival preservation.
MEAP funds a diverse range of projects, including multiple media formats from countries and communities around the world. We seek applications that focus on preserving endangered collections from the 20th and 21st Centuries that reflect community voices, cultural expression, and historical experiences that have been left out of national narratives and archives.
