ARSC Preservation Grants

Deadline: Dec. 15, 2013

The Association for Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation and study of sound recordings, in all genres of music and speech, in all formats, and from all periods. The ARSC Program for the Preservation of Classical Music Historical Recordings supports the preservation of historically significant sound recordings of Western Art Music by individuals and organizations, and will also consider funding:
  • Projects involving preservation, in any valid and reasonable fashion, such as providing a collection with proper climate control, moving a collection to facilities with proper storage conditions, re-sleeving a collection of discs, setting up a volunteer project to organize and inventory a stored collection, rescuing recordings from danger, copying recordings on endangered or unstable media, etc.;
  • Projects promoting public access to recordings;
  • Projects involving commercial as well as private, instantaneous recordings;
  • Projects involving collections anywhere in the world (non-U.S. applicants are encouraged to apply).
Grant amounts generally range from $2000 to $10,000. More information and proposal guidelines are on the website: http://www.arsc-audio.org/committees/preservationgrants.html#guidelines
