It could only count for the grant if there is a follow up, in which people (volunteers or professionals, or both) do something with the new digitized material: that would bring in the collaboration part.

I would like to use this opportunity to once more bring forward an idea I have been toying with at least since the Frankfurt Wikimania: Using Wikimedia's methods in making archives available.
As I wrote on the meta page, they specifically won't fund "projects that focus primarily on digitizing existing collections". So we would need to strongly justify why the wiki method is more than mere digitisation. (From what you described I'm not totally convinced it would be...)
