Hi, Di is right. There are many places that do grants for historical things. One place she could look is her local libraries or councils. I know my local council has grants available at the moment for historical and local significant things. She could also put into Google search engine "Grants" or "historical Grants". Being the National Library, I would have thought their staff would know of the different Government bodies that do such grants. When I am looking for grants for school I will have a look and keep you in mind Regards Tracey -----Original Message----- From: aus-sagen-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-sagen-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of dicummings2003@email.com Sent: Sunday, 6 February 2011 10:14 PM To: AUS-SAGEN@rootsweb.com Subject: [AUS-SAGEN] Digitise The Dawn Kylie wrote: Digitise The Dawn <http://digitisethedawn.org/> are raising funds so that the National Library can digitise The Dawn newspaper and add it to Trove <http://www.trove.nla.gov.au/>.
