It is planned, at that point, for the organization to transition into an independent not-for-profit entity or be brought under the umbrella of another appropriate not-for-profit (such as a professional society) that can host the repository in the long term. |
| Digital Antiquity is now funded now funded by a two-year, $1.29M Mellon Foundation implementation grant. Planning and prototype development of the tDAR repository has been tDAR repository has been funded by two grants from the National Science Foundation ($100K, $750K) to Arizona State University and one from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation's Scholarly Communications Program ($150K) to archaeoinformatics.org, the predecessor collaborative organization of Digital Antiquity. A grant to enable interoperability with the UK's [Archaeology Data Service|http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/|ADS] is underway, funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (PX-50022-09) and the Higher Education Funding Council for England of the United Kingdom acting through the Joint Information Systems Committee. |
