The National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC)
Publishing Historical Records in Collaborative Digital Editions
- Deadline:
- Budget: up to $125,000 (cost sharing required)
The National Historical Publications and Records Commission seeks proposals to publish online editions of historical records. All types of historical records are eligible, including documents, photographs, born-digital records, and analog audio. Projects may focus on broad historical movements in U.S. history, including any aspect of African American, Asian American, Hispanic American, and Native American history, such as law (including the social and cultural history of the law), politics, social reform, business, military, the arts, and other aspects of the national experience.
Projects that center the voices and document the history of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color are especially welcome.
With the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence approaching, the Commission also invites projects that promote discovery and access to collections that explore the ideals behind our nation’s founding and the continuous debate over those ideals to the present day.
The goal of this program is to provide access to, and editorial context for, the historical documents and records that tell the American story.
A grant is for one year and for up to $125,000 per year. Grants begin no earlier than January 1, 2025.
Eligibility
U.S. nonprofit organizations or institutions
U.S. colleges, universities, and other academic institutions
State or local government agencies
Federally-acknowledged or state-recognized Native American tribes or groups
