## What the grant funds

The National Historical Publications and Records Commission seeks proposals that support the work of state historical records advisory boards through projects that engage the public, expand civic education, and promote understanding of the nation’s history, democracy, and culture. The Commission welcomes projects that commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and that use collections to examine the ideals behind the founding of the United States and the continual interpretation and debate over these ideals over the past 250 years. Collections that center the voices and document the history of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color are especially encouraged. The purpose of this grant program is to assist state boards to broaden preservation of, and increased online access to, historical records; develop and promote best practices; support activities that put the American people in touch with primary sources in their communities and online; promote the institutional advancement of organizations in underserved communities; and assist locally based repositories with training and tools to improve their stewardship abilities. The Commission will award grants to state historical records advisory boards to: ? Operate state-based regrant programs that preserve historical records and make them available online ? Carry out traveling archivist programs that provide onsite assistance and follow-up advice to repositories ? Provide educational and outreach programs, workshops, and other activities that enhance citizen and student engagement with historical records ? Offer scholarships, training opportunities, and other programs that support institutional advancement among records repositories, especially those in underserved communities ? Collaborate on projects with other organizations to address common problems or shared opportunities within a state or among a consortium of state archives ? Hold or participate in meetings and public forums on statewide or national archival issues. State boards should review the NHPRC’s strategic plan and consider its goals, objectives, and tactics when evaluating the board’s current programming and considering new programs. Some tactics call on the NHPRC to partner with state boards to undertake particular activities, and other tactics relate to activities that are already common among state boards.
