Of the People: Widening the Path: Connecting Communities Digital Initiative – Libraries, Archives and Museums

Funding Agency:
Library of Congress

The Library of Congress is excited to announce a Notice of Funding Opportunity (Notice) to make three awards for up to $70,000 each in support of libraries, archives and museums. The Library will provide financial support to enable libraries, archives and museums to use Library of Congress digital materials to create projects that center one or more of the following groups Black, Indigenous, Hispanic or Latino, Asian American and Pacific Islander, and/or other communities of color in the United States. For this Notice, the United States includes all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and U.S. Virgin Islands.

Connecting Communities Digital Initiative (CCDI) is part of Of the People: Widening the Path, a multi-year initiative that creates new opportunities for more Americans to engage with the Library of Congress. Through CCDI, the Library of Congress intends to fund three programs: Libraries, Archives and Museums; Higher Education Institutions; and Artist or Scholar in Residence. The Notices for the Artist or Scholar in Residence (030ADV23R0033) and Higher Education Institutions (030ADV23R0034) can be found on grants.gov.

The purpose of this CCDI program is to expand the connections between the Library of Congress and libraries, archives and museums. Successful applicants should make use of Library of Congress digital collections and materials to create projects that center one or more of the following groups: Black, Indigenous, Hispanic or Latino, Asian American and Pacific Islander, and/or other communities of color. We welcome projects that explore gender, sexuality, class, color, ability, and more among one or more of the above groups.

The Library invites applicants to think creatively and broadly about how they can reuse and remix the Library’s digital materials.

The Organization shall not submit more than one application under this announcement. Interested applicants from within Duke should contact fundopps@duke.edu as early as possible.

Proposal Submission Deadline: Sep. 7, 2023
