YADA!Cal Subscription Instructions

Below are instructions for subscribing to the YADA! Archiving & Preservation Grants Calendar via iCal, Outlook, and Google Calendars using the .ics file we have created. Other calendar programs will have similar means for subscribing and would use the same webcal or http URLs included in the instructions.

Regular updates will be made as new application deadlines are announced or other granting opportunities are uncovered.

Please contact us via info@avpreserve.com with any questions, technical issues, or additional grants you would like to see added.

and click Add Calendar. Click on the small box with the upside down triangle next to the new calendar in your Other Calendars box to change the display color of entries, the calendar name, or other settings. Occasionally the Google servers can be slow to populate the entries of a new calendar, so just give it a little time to display. If the name of the calendar appears in your list it should be fine.
