Project CO-PIs, Zhijia Shen and Jing Liu, applied for and received a CLIR micro-grant of $3000 to help with work to publish a volume on the UW-UBC collaborative CLIR project. They have successfully secured a book contract with Zhonghua Shuju, one of China’s best publishers on topics of Chinese culture and history. The book is scheduled for publication by the end of 2016.

This microgrant program—”Microgrants for Incentivizing Collaboration”—from CLIR offers small grants in support of further collaboration and cross-project connections among recipients of their Cataloging Hidden Special Collections and Archives grants.
