Archives Collaboratives
- Deadline:
- Budget: up to $100,000 (cost sharing required)
The National Historical Publications and Records Commission seeks Archives Collaboratives of three or more repositories working together to make their collections more readily available for public discovery and use.
The grant program will fund Archives Collaboratives to:
share best practices, tools, and techniques;
assess institutional strengths and opportunities;
create replicable and sustainable digital platforms for historical collections;
virtually unify records from multiple repositories; and
promote management structures for long-term sustainability and growth.
The Commission welcomes collaborations that target institutional advancement for small and underserved local archives and repositories, especially those with collections that focus on the voices and perspectives of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. Archives Collaboratives must consist of three or more organizations.
Applicants may apply for either a Planning Grant or an Implementation Grant.
Planning Grants are available to plan and develop a working collaborative of three or more partners designed to enhance the capacity of small and diverse organizations with historical records collections.
Implementation Grants are available for Archives Collaboratives to put into practice the action items identified during their planning process, whether done independently or through a Planning Grant from the NHPRC.
