National
Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC)
The National
Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), a statutory
body affiliated with the National Archives and Records Administration,
administers a grant program that supports activities relating
to historical records. NHPRC encourages efforts to preserve and
make available for use historical records including manuscripts,
personal and family papers, organizational, corporate, and governmental
archives, photographs, motion pictures, architectural records,
and electronic records.
The Ohio
Historical Records Advisory Board reviews grants submitted to
the NHPRC by Ohio institutions. Proposals submitted to the board
must relate to the current goals and objectives
of the board and the NHPRC. The board particularly encourages
projects to identify, preserve, increase access to, and promote
the use of historical records and documentary sources.
The board
favors proposals that:
- address
unmet needs across the state
- demonstrate
collaborative efforts or aim at collaborative products
- incorporate
matching funds and financial support from government, institutions,
civic organizations, or other groups
- demonstrate
new or innovative methods and techniques
- are in
accord with current mandated and state-supported local government
records programs.
Applicants
should submit to the state coordinator a written outline of the
proposed project at least sixty days in advance of the pertinent
deadline. The board will work with the applicants to ensure that
their applications are eligible. Applicants are encouraged to
attend a meeting of the board to discuss their proposed projects
and refine their applications.
Once submitted
to the NHPRC, the board reviews proposals in terms of their technical
merit and their relationship to the established priorities of
the board and the NHPRC. The board recommends to the NHPRC that
proposals be funded fully or partially, returned with resubmission
encouraged, or rejected. Evaluations and recommendations of the
board are confidential. Only non-identifying copies of the reviews
will be shared with applicants.
