Discretionary

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) awarded a $125,000 discretionary Project Grant to The Johns Hopkins University under the National Historical Publications and Records Grants program (CFDA 89.003). The grant, with a performance period from March 1, 2025 to February 28, 2026, will support projects focused on preserving, digitizing, and providing public access to historical records and documentary sources related to U.S. history. Typical funded activities include archival processing, digital preservation, creating online editions of historical papers, and developing collaborative digital platforms to improve public discovery and use of these materials, with a particular emphasis on documenting underrepresented groups and exploring founding ideals. The grant to The Johns Hopkins University, a leading federal research institution, will contribute to the program's goal of making historical collections more accessible to researchers and the general public.
