Overview
Recordings at Risk is 'a grant program that supports the preservation of rare and unique audio, audiovisual, and other time-based media of high public value,' and it is 'open to eligible organizations in the United States.' CLIR lists Recordings at Risk alongside Digitizing Hidden Collections under 'Programs, Grants, and Fellowships,' separate from its professional-development offerings (Digital Library Federation, the CLIR and DLF Job Board, the Leading Change Institute). The CLIR Postdoctoral Fellowship Program is described in the past tense — it 'offered recent Ph.D. graduates the chance to develop research tools, resources, and services' — so it is not carried here as an open opportunity.
How to Apply
CLIR's Programs & Grants page describes Recordings at Risk as a grant program and links to the program page. The fetched pages do not carry the application form, deadline or award range — consult clir.org/programs-and-grants/recordings-at-risk for the current RFP. CLIR notes its general contact address is for non-grant-related communication only.
