About the company
Rhode Island Historical Society, a tax-exempt non-profit organization based in Providence, Rhode Island, is a federal grant recipient operating exclusively as a prime recipient (100% of recent awards) with no federal contract prime footprint or subcontractor engagements. The organization delivers cultural heritage, digitization, and educational programming funded through federal grants administered by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the National Archives and Records Administration, and the Department of the Interior's National Park Service.
The organization's grant portfolio centers on three concrete capability areas: digital archival work (digitizing historical documents and making them available online), public education and interpretation (hosting public lectures and teacher professional development seminars), and institutional capacity-building around inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility (IDEA) in museums. Recent representative awards include a March 2026 National Endowment for the Humanities project grant supporting six public talks on Rhode Island's role in the Declaration of Independence, implementation of a dedicated website and database for digitized Revolutionary War and independence-era documents (completion June 2027); a September 2021 Institute of Museum and Library Services grant funding organizational IDEA consulting and strategy work (completed February 2023); and a September 2021 National Archives and Records Administration grant to digitize approximately 6,400 pages of Revolutionary War regimental and Providence Hospital records from 1775 to 1783 (completed August 2022). The organization served five distinct federal agencies across six awards accumulated since 2017, with a combined obligation total of $335 thousand. Activity has been sporadic — one award in 2017, one in 2018, one in 2020, two in 2021, and one in 2026 — and one active award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
