Endangered Archives Programme

The Endangered Archives Programme (EAP) is a funding programme and <a href="/facts/Digital_archive/BgCG3dxa">digital archive</a> run by the <a href="/facts/British_Library/p01eBQ5A">British Library</a> in London. It has the purpose of preserving cultural heritage where resources may be limited. Each year EAP awards grants to researchers to identify and preserve culturally important archives by digitising them in situ. The original archival material does not leave the country of origin, and projects often incorporate local training and career development. EAP focuses on material created before the mid twentieth century.
