<i>Recordings at Risk</i></span></h2>
<p style="line-height: 175%; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Lato, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"> </span></p>
<p style="line-height: 175%; margin: 0px; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: Lato, Tahoma, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) has awarded $814,332 in grants to digitize rare and unique audio and
audiovisual materials through its <i>Recordings at Risk </i>program. The program’s twelfth cohort of 21 projects will begin work on September 1, 2025. This diverse group of projects will digitally preserve groundbreaking experimental music, rare Latin American
recordings, historic speeches from college and university campuses, and many more voices and experiences from across the US and beyond. Among the unique collections that will be preserved are documentary footage from the Muhammad Ali Museum, LGBTQ+ oral histories
from Ohio, regional news recordings from Hawai‘i, documentation of Asian American communities in Southern California, and folk music recordings from West Virginia.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 175%; margin: 0px; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: Lato, Tahoma, sans-serif;"> </span></p>
<p style="line-height: 175%; margin: 0px; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: Lato, Tahoma, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">"Each cycle of Recordings at Risk reminds us how fragile yet vital our recorded heritage is," said Charles Henry, president
of CLIR. "These grants ensure that people can experience voices, performances, and stories that might otherwise fall silent. These preserved recordings will offer future generations a chance to build deeper understanding across time, place, and identity, ultimately
strengthening our shared cultural fabric. We are grateful to the Mellon Foundation for their steadfast support and to our partner organizations for their dedication to preserving our collective memory."</span></p>

<i>Recordings at Risk</i> program has awarded nearly $6.75 million for over 200 projects led by libraries, archives, museums, and other cultural organizations that hold audio or audiovisual materials. These grants provide essential resources to preserve stories,
languages, and artistic expressions that define communities and connect generations, thereby contributing to a more comprehensive and inclusive historical record.</span></p>
