About this Collection
The Modern Endangered Archive Program (MEAP) is a granting program at the UCLA Library that works to preserve global cultural heritage collections at risk of loss due to environmental conditions, political uncertainty, inherently unsustainable media, inappropriate or inadequate storage, climate change, or social strife. MEAP funds projects to document, digitize, and make accessible endangered archival materials from the 20th and 21st Centuries, including print, photographic, film, audio, ephemeral, and born digital objects. Collections focus on history, society, culture, and politics, with an emphasis on social justice, human rights activism, cultural production, indigenous experiences, and under-documented communities.
