🌎 UCLA Library’s Modern Endangered Archives Program (MEAP), supported by Arcadia, has awarded 30 grants to document and digitize at-risk archival collections in 21 countries.

Selected from a record 250 applications, this year’s projects document human rights archives, photography, Indigenous languages and oral traditions from around the world.

As demand for MEAP funding grows, a new $2 million grant from Arcadia will expand support for endangered audio, video and film beginning in 2027, while increasing the program’s capacity to fund projects involving print and other materials.
