About this opportunity

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is seeking grant proposals for archival projects that will significantly improve online public discovery and use of historical records collections. The grant opportunity, titled "Archival Projects," is part of the National Historical Publications and Records Grants program (CFDA 89.003) and is open to Tribal Governments, State Governments, Higher Education Institutions, City/Township Governments, County Governments, and 501(c)(3) Nonprofits. The Commission encourages projects focused on collections of America's early legal records, as well as those that center the voices and document the history of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. Applications are due by May 7, 2025.

The typical project period is 1-3 years, and recent grant awards have ranged from approximately $25,000 to $4.5 million. Projects are typically performed at the applicant institutions across the United States and may involve activities such as digitizing archival collections, creating online editions of historical papers, developing collaborative digital platforms, and engaging the public with historical materials.

Synopsis

The NHPRC seeks archival projects that will significantly improve online public discovery and use of historical records collections. We welcome projects that engage the public, expand civic education, and promote understanding of the nation's history, democracy, and culture from the founding era to the present day. The Commission encourages projects focused on collections of America's early legal records, such as the records of colonial, territorial, county, and early statehood and tribal proceedings that document the evolution of the nation's legal history. Collections that center the voices and document the history of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color are especially welcome.
