Permanent URI for this community
Project Ceres is the result of a collaboration between the United States Agricultural Information Network (USAIN), the Agriculture Network Information Collaborative (AgNIC) and the Center for Research Libraries (CRL) to support ongoing preservation and digitization of collections in the field of agriculture.
The purpose of the program is to support small projects that facilitate the retention and preservation of print materials essential to study of the History and Economics of Agriculture that were published between 1860 and 1988, making these materials accessible through digitization and print retention. Funds are provided by CRL for services rendered. Proposals for funding are received and reviewed by USAIN's Preservation and Digital Library Committee, whose recommendations for awards are made to CRL. Award recipients are announced by CRL; listings of funded projects are:
