The objective of the Historical Archives Program is to encourage the preservation of unpublished personal research materials of established anthropologists considered of value for research on the history of anthropology. Grants are offered to individuals, to assist senior scholars at the end of their careers (or their heirs) with the expense of preparing and transferring their unpublished research materials for archival deposit. Applicants must show evidence that arrangements have been made with an appropriate archival repository. All individuals seeking to apply for funding under the Historical Archive Program must first submit a Preliminary Inquiry to determine their eligibility. There is no fixed deadline. Inquiries and applications will be reviewed as they are received. A brief biographical sketch of the individual in question, outlining their academic history and contributions to the discipline is required. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
