To-do: grants, awards, etc.

It’s that time of year: when the masters deign to grant a paltry few with some scraps and pennies in pursuit of all the vast realms of knowledge, which rightly should be our collective heritage and right as part of humanity. Or in which they give us a pat on the back for a job well done, which we can at least put on our CVs.

Which is to say, here are some pertinent things we archivists, librarians, students, and researchers might apply for.
