    NINCH ANNOUNCEMENT News on Networking Cultural Heritage Resources from across the Community February 19, 2002

    Museums, Archives, Learned Societies & Libraries Encouraged to Apply for Assistance for Internet High Performance Connections http://www.interact.nsf.gov/cise/descriptions.nsf/pd/hpnc?openDocument

    The NSF's High Performance Networked Computing program assists institutions to establish high performance Internet connections (at or above 45mbits per second). Although a proposal must include an application that involves cutting edge scientific research, non-science institutions are actively encouraged to consider applying for this assistance.
