This survey is for prospective applicants of the British Columbia History Digitization Program grant. By filling out and submitting the following information, you signal your organization’s intent to apply for a BCHDP grant in the upcoming cycle and your interest in seeking additional support.
In an effort to bolster BCHDP’s commitment to building capacity and supporting community-based organizations* in the preservation and digitization of unique British Columbia content, in this upcoming funding cycle, the program will prioritize applications that are led by community-based organizations.
Early notice responses will be accepted until August 7, 2026, but the earlier notice you provide, the more support we can provide. Early notice is not mandatory, but is expected to improve chances of a successful grant application.
Information provided in this survey will only be used for follow-up, it will not form part of your grant application. Organizations eligible for and indicating interest in additional support during the grant application process will be contacted.
Support for eligible organizations can include assistance with: completing the grant application; project management; copyright advisory; connections to digitization service providers; securing digitization staff; reviewing metadata; and hosting digitized materials in the Arca provincial digital repository.
