intersection of science and the humanities. The Ada Lovelace Grant is sponsored
jointly by MIT’s Program in Science, Society, and Technology and the MIT
Libraries and generously funded by donors. Each year, one recipient will
receive up to $10,000 to support a project using technology to make
historical materials accessible and engaging to people outside the academy.
Given the enormous gender gap in technology in general and sciences in
particular, this grant will be reserved for women enrolled in graduate
programs at MIT.<span></span></span></p>

technology to ensure more equitable access to knowledge and to historical
archives.”<span></span></span></p>

historical materials including archives, manuscripts, government documents

broadly defined. The end result of the project should be a website or digital
exhibition of some kind, and successful applicants will be expected to
deliver a final report and give a public talk on their project upon
completion.<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"palatino linotype",serif;color:black">Applicants should submit a two-page proposal, outlining the creative
