The Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) is accepting applications for the thirteenth cycle of Recordings at Risk. Generously supported by the Mellon Foundation, this program supports the preservation of rare and unique audio and audiovisual content on degrading or obsolete other time-based media. The program invites proposals seeking to digitize materials of public value held by collecting organizations in the US and Canada. Projects can range from $10,000 to $60,000 (USD). Proposals will be accepted through February 24, 2026.
CLIR staff will host a webinar at 2:00 PM ET on December 2, 2025, to provide information about the program and its application components, and to answer questions. Registration is required.
