[SOA] OHRAB Archives Grant Announcement

[Fred Previts]

The Ohio Historical Records Advisory Board (OHRAB) announces the
availability of grants between $500 and $3,000 to archival institutions
to fund projects to preserve and/or provide access to Ohio's historical
records.  Proposals must be received by February 28, 2012.  Awards will
be announced March 15, and projects must be completed by December 31,
2012.

 

Full details of this grant opportunity are available at OHRAB's website
http://ohsweb.ohiohistory.org/ohrab/index.php?title=Re-grants_SNAP_Grant
_Committee or in the attached documents.  (Information about how to
acquire a hard copy is at the end of this post.)  Highlights include:

 

*            Eligible institutions may be public or private.

*            Any size institution may apply, but preference will be
given to institutions with permanently valuable materials of 500 cubic
feet or fewer.

*            Eligible projects include those involving physical access,
arrangement, and description; preservation (including storage
materials); and making catalog descriptions of records or digital images
of records available on line.

*            Eligible expenses include supplies and storage materials,
technical equipment, and contracted services.

 

Funding is made available by a Federal regrant opportunity from the
National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), an arm
of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).   **OHRAB
has been conditionally notified by NHRPC of the funds for this project.
However, we are awaiting formal notification from NHPRC based on the
recently passed Federal budget.  While it is necessary for OHRAB to
announce this grant opportunity and begin to receive your proposals, all
awards are contingent on OHRAB receiving the funds from NHPRC. 

 

If you have questions or require a hard copy of the application package,
please contact Judith G. Cetina, Ph.D., County Archivist, 2905 Franklin
Blvd., Cleveland, OH 44113; 216-443-7262; jcetina at cuyahogacounty.us.  

 

Please pass this along to your colleagues whom you think might benefit
from seeing it!
