The College of Architecture, Art and Planning (AAP) Grants Program funds one project each year in support of digital scholarship that holds value to the Cornell community and beyond. Proposals will be assessed using the following criteria.
Collections should:
- Service scholarly and teaching activities
- Support the innovative use of resources through the creation of digital collections
- Foster scholarship in art, architecture and/or planning
- Provide digital content of enduring value
Interdisciplinary projects are encouraged.
Digital Consulting and Production Services (DCAPS) will assist the applicants in preparing preliminary work plans. The Library’s proposal preparation team will facilitate this meeting to answer questions about timelines and budgets for the funded project before they are implemented. The focus of the review process will not be on the soundness of the technical plan but rather on the overall scholarly contributions of the proposed digital collections.
For more information, please contact Marsha Taichman, Visual Resources & Public Services Librarian at met228@cornell.edu.
