Access to Historical Records: Major Initiatives (Preliminary)
The National Historical Publications and Records Commission seeks projects that will significantly improve public discovery and use of major historical records collections.
All types of historical records are eligible, including documents, photographs, born-digital records, and analog audio and moving images.
Projects may:
• Digitize historical records collections, or related collections, held by a single institution and make them freely available online• Provide access to born-digital records• Create new freely-available virtual collections drawn from historical records held by multiple institutions• Create new tools and methods for users to access recordsThe NHPRC welcomes collaborative projects, particularly for bringing together related records from multiple institutions.
Projects that address significant needs in the field and result in replicable and scalable approaches will be more competitive.
We also encourage organizations to actively engage the public in the work of the project.
