JISC Capital programme: Digitisation
Request for proposals
The JISC Capital programme, funded by HEFCE and HEFCW from April 2006–March 2009, consists of six areas of development: Network; Digitisation; Repositories; e-Learning; e-Infrastructure; and User Environments.
JISC has issued a Request for proposals for Digitisation projects as part of the JISC Capital programme. This Request for proposals is aimed primarily at enabling access, use and re-use through the digitisation of analogue collections for learning, teaching and research. It is envisaged that a small number of large scale projects with a minimum budget allocation of £500,000 will be funded through this programme. However, this guideline should not discourage proposals from highly significant educational and research collections that may require funding at a lower level.
Proposals may be submitted by an institution, organisation or consortia with collections of significant value to higher education and research in England and Wales. The deadline for proposals is 12 noon on Friday 26th May 2006.
A Digitisation programme town meeting was held in London on the 21 April 2006 for those interested in submitting proposals. FAQs, presentations and other supporting information can be found at the digitisation blog.
