Writing successful funding applications isn’t a secret art genetically born into a few elite professionals, but a simple and direct process of describing problems, identifying solutions, and requesting funding to achieve measurable goals. This workshop will provide an introduction to the grant writing process. Participants will receive a broad overview of approaches to aligning grant writing to strategic goals; review a variety of external funding sources for archival and history-based initiatives; become familiar with the basic structure of grant applications; understand the mechanics of the application, review, and selection processes at different funding agencies; discuss important “dos and don’ts” for successful applications; outline the critical post-award work of running and closing funded projects; and understand how to solicit feedback on failed applications to make improvements and reapply.

For years professional literature, workshops, and trainings have informed us of the complexities and issues around these materials. But what happens when theory meets reality? What kinds of collections are we actually encountering, and what are the real-life tools and procedures that repositories are using? After a brief review of recognised best practices for working with electronic records, this workshop will demonstrate practical options for ingesting and processing born digital material, and potential access strategies based on experience, struggles, and developed solutions. Presenters will demonstrate tools addressing various issues including how to capture information to create an inventory, transfer files, collect metadata, address inconsistencies and duplicates, and monitoring fixity/stability over time. The full-day workshop will include hands-on experience for the participants with the tools (negotiable for the half-day workshop). We propose having two presenters for each workshop to more effectively address participants' needs. While this course is best taught in person, it can also be offered in a shorter, virtual format. Speakers are happy to discuss options.
