Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00024
The grant opportunity titled "Go Digital - Make digital images accessible to Park Staff and the Public" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00024) is a National Park Service cooperative agreement focused on improving access to and long-term management of a large collection of digital images held by Chaco Culture National Historic Park (CHCU), specifically within the park's Division of Interpretation. The overall purpose is to turn an existing but unwieldy archive of digital files into a well-organized, searchable, and sustainable resource that can be used more easily by park staff and, where appropriate, made available to the public through an official National Park Service platform.
The project has two main goals. First, it aims to assess and systematically organize more than 16,000 existing CHCU digital image files, create appropriate metadata for those files, and prepare as many of them as funding will allow for upload into NPGallery, the National Park Service's digital asset management system. This part of the work is essentially about triage and preparation: reviewing what exists, determining what is worth keeping, and bringing retained images up to a consistent standard so they can be ingested into NPGallery and discovered and reused efficiently. As part of that process, the project also includes culling files described as unused or "orphan" images, meaning images that have no clear value, purpose, or connection to interpretive or archival needs. The intent is to reduce clutter and prevent low-value or unidentifiable material from consuming staff time and storage space.
Second, the opportunity requires development of a practical digital image management plan that park staff can implement without needing outside experts after the project ends. Rather than being a generic policy document, the plan is meant to be grounded in the real procedures tested and refined during the assessment and organization phase. In other words, the grant is designed not only to complete a one-time clean-up and upload effort, but also to leave the park with a repeatable workflow for handling images going forward, including how images should be named, described, stored, selected for publication, and prepared for entry into NPGallery. This emphasis on creating an operational plan is aimed at ensuring that improvements to accessibility and organization are maintained over time and do not degrade once the funded work is complete.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, under the Natural Resources funding activity category, with CFDA number 15.945. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, often through collaboration, shared decision-making, or ongoing technical input. Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, positioning universities and similar institutions as the intended partners to perform the work in coordination with the park.
The opportunity was created on February 8, 2019, with an original closing date of February 17, 2019. The award ceiling is $60,121, and the National Park Service anticipated making one award. Overall, the grant is structured as a targeted, single-award effort to convert a large and potentially inconsistent collection of interpretive digital images into an organized and metadata-rich archive ready for NPGallery, while simultaneously establishing a clear, staff-friendly management plan so the park can sustain the improvements and continue making images accessible to staff and the public.Apply for P19AS00024
