Digitizing Hidden Collections: Amplifying Unheard Voices is a grant competition administered by the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) to digitize rare and unique content stewarded by collecting organizations in the US and Canada. Launched in 2021, with the generous support of the Mellon Foundation, the program has awarded approximately $11.9 million to archives, historical societies, libraries, museums, and other collecting organizations to deepen public understanding of the histories of people of color and other communities and populations whose work, experiences, and perspectives have been insufficiently recognized or unattended. The program builds upon the foundation of the previous iteration, Digitizing Hidden Special Collections and Archives, which awarded over $24 million in digitization grants from 2016 to 2020.
