EMC Heritage Trust Project: stakes and opportunities for the local communities.

Progressively, EMC paves it way and continues to enable communities to preserve their historical information through the Heritage Trust Project.

If unfamiliar, Connectikpeople.co recalls that, the approach supports projects that practice and encourage the stewardship of cultural information in local communities.  

Founded in 2007, EMC’s Information Heritage Initiative program helps advance the conservation of information heritage through digitization around the world, allowing readily accessible online research and education. To date, EMC® has recognized about

40 projects with Heritage Trust grants.

The EMC Heritage Trust Project grant recipients were selected based on the following criteria: potential size of the audience that would benefit from access to the information they are seeking to protect; the at-risk status of the information and why it is urgent to digitize; and how beneficial the EMC grant would be to the overall success of the project.

In August, 2013, EMC awarded grants to Kresy-Siberia Virtual Museum, United Kingdom, Acervo Digital Chiquinha Gonzaga, Brazil, and Guernsey Evacuee Community Group, United Kingdom.

Nominations for the 2014 Heritage Trust Project will open in May 2014. For more information on the EMC Heritage Trust Project, you can visit:  https://www.facebook.com/emccorp/app_222471081145150
