State and National Archival Partnership (SNAP) Grants

archived

The National Historical Publications and Records Commission seeks proposals to strengthen archives and historical records programs in each of the states and build a national archival network. The Commission awards grants to State Historical Records Advisory Boards to: *Provide statewide archival services, including professional education, public information about records and archival programs, and other activities to implement state plans. *Operate grant programs for eligible archives, manuscript repositories, and other organizations within a state. *Collaborate on projects with other organizations to address common problems or shared opportunities within a state or among a consortium of state archives. *Assess the health of archival and records programs, the conditions of records, and the challenges and opportunities facing historical records keepers and users; and to implement strategies and programs to address pressing archival issues. *Hold meetings and public forums on statewide or national archival issues. *Participate in national archival organizations. The NHPRC expects to award up to 56 grants in this program. Applicants may apply for outright basic grants of up to $20,000 for 18 month projects. Projects to reactivate a State Historical Records Advisory Board (SHRAB) and develop or revise the SHRAB's strategic plan should request a maximum of $5,000. Active State Historical Records Advisory Boards may apply for a grant of up to $20,000 to carry out project activities aligned with their board's current strategic plan. In addition, active SHRABs may request in their applications up to $50,000 in additional funds for regrants or collaborative projects. These supplemental funds will be awarded competitively, provided monies are available.
