<p class="MsoNormal">Washington Digital Heritage Grants provide up to $15,000 to libraries for digital projects that promote the creation and sharing of digital content documenting Washington's history. Grants are open to public, academic, tribal, and special
libraries in Washington State for projects running through June 2023. While grants are available only to libraries, museums and other cultural heritage institutions may partner with a library on eligible digital projects. The 2022-2023 grant will open for
applications on February 22, 2022. Anyone interested can submit a Letter of Interest for feedback before the grant opens for applications. Learn more about this grant opportunity at
<a href="https://washstatelib.libguides.com/2022WDH">https://washstatelib.libguides.com/2022WDH</a>, or join us for a webinar at 9am, on February 10, 2022. Contact
<a href="mailto:wslgrants@sos.wa.gov">wslgrants@sos.wa.gov</a> for the webinar link and password. Washington Digital Heritage Grants are funded through the Institute of Museum and Library Services.<o:p></o:p></p>
