I'm working with a consortium of folk arts organizations here in New York  
City.  Between them, they have a large collection of audio and video  
documentation of performances of ethnic music and dance, as well as oral history  
interviews on subjects relating to ethic and immigrant neighborhood  traditions.  
Many of the original audio recordings were made on cassette  tape; all of the 
visual documentation is recorded on various formats of video  (as opposed to 
film).
 
We have applied for a Save Americas Treasures grant to make preservation  and 
access copies of this material, and to make digital copies that will be  
available at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.  But  we are 
also looking for other funding in the event that the SAT grant is not  
funded, or to match the SAT funds if it is.
 
So...does anyone out there know of good sources for audio and video  funding? 
 The national endowments and NHPRC are out as a match for SAT  because they 
are federally funded. 
 
Any leads are appreciated very much!
 
Thanks.
