The Ohio Historical Records Advisory Board announces the availability of grants between $500 and $5,000 to archival institutions to fund projects to preserve and/or provide access to Ohio’s historical records.  The grants are funded by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC<http://www.archives.gov/nhprc/>), an arm of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA<http://www.archives.gov/>).  Projects eligible for funding in 2019 include:


·         Assessment and Strategic Planning: hiring consultants to identify needs and priorities for improving the organization, description, preservation and access to collections.

·         Access, Arrangement and Description: identifying, organizing, and improving access to historical records.

·         Preservation: purchasing archival file folders, archival boxes, dehumidifiers, humidifiers, hygrothermographs, or HEPA vacuum cleaners.

·         Website Development: Adding collections to online catalog, developing virtual archives, or creating an on-line database. Websites designed to support access to researchers (e.g., online catalogs, finding aids, and digitized collections, rather than curated web exhibits) will receive preference in funding.

Please Note: all projects should produce some type of online content, such as a finding aid, report or digital images.

Grant applications are due February 28, 2019.  More information on the grants, including the application packet, is available here<http://secure-web.cisco.com/1nrmBKt8Vgb6LPY2qNyImgye8RswrLE_FJHm67w94xr81Jpjso6IxQpNjzt7vAyS531MeBvWXpRkiNkgtEMR1OCItqe4eUvwh0e4-NefPtQiOgN_XTOccdMmWLrHzz8Z54eicpHNH5QkJzReV3I0NYrirH7_8hAmYm-dztHOxu4OiSHokISrnBC8g96yIAsBPRx_MyknRqb7JByk-y8x8CtkO1Pt7hx8TiAQMj7L4VOgSR4z0Kxoor3E3Cjjv_-nlPcJ7g3SW0CtwQ-r3_7nXWl-nuXV3fVnk1DzCFG-ugyqLeCWEyBRkfm62n4xUN5DE_8waNnhc9rZauCB_WBNZ_PxIQ0GWlZOL1cPDh2CavoUJVIIhRbckudjksNi6F_0Z1FRnpc8wcrKU_F3ZStVJS_5usYFmOxfU2Va-rde8U2hjY8YE2r8mcSK5yLqHBijY3LQcaWBhH70A5jctblmCCCehVeOz5QxSdoV5lDETGIVwP9TGQAqE7iuH_w82g3M5PXqtYazNQjFkrGbK_0UcCA/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ohrab.org%2Fgrants%2Fregrant%2F>.

**PLEASE NOTE: OHRAB is awaiting formal notification from the NHPRC on the funding for the regrants.  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 the NHPRC.
