The National Historical Publications and Records Commission supports projects that promote the preservation and use of America’s documentary heritage essential to understanding our democracy, history, and culture. The Commission seeks proposals that will increase the capacity of archival repositories to create electronic records archives that preserve records of enduring historical value. The NHPRC supports efforts by archivists and records managers to meet the challenges of electronic records. Projects must involve institutions that have already established archives and records management programs. We seek applications for start-up or collaborative projects: Start-up projects: Develop the capacity of institutions to prepare to capture and preserve electronic records, through program planning; or Collaborative projects: Establish and/or improve electronic records archives by engaging in effective and innovative collaborations.
