I will be hosting conference calls regarding NHPRC's Public Engagement with Historical Records<https://www.archives.gov/nhprc/announcement/engagement.html> grant program for prospective applicants. The calls will be held on Tuesday, July 10, 2019 at 3 pm EDT and on Thursday, July 17, 2019 at 4 pm EDT. To attend, dial 1-866-654-5750 and enter participant code: 94793466 #. You do not need to pre-register.

The National Historical Publications and Records Commission Public Engagement with Historical Records <https://www.archives.gov/nhprc/announcement/engagement.html> grant program seeks projects that encourage public engagement with historical records, including the development of new tools that enable people to engage online. The NHPRC is looking for projects that create models and technologies that other institutions can freely adopt. In general, collaborations between archivists, documentary editors, historians, educators, and/or community-based individuals are more likely to create a competitive proposal. Projects that focus on innovative methods to introduce primary source materials and how to use them in multiple locations also are more likely to create a competitive proposal.

Projects might create and develop programs to engage people in the study and use of historical records for institutional, educational or personal reasons. For example, an applicant can:

  *   Enlist volunteer "citizen archivists" in projects to accelerate access to historical records, especially those online. This may include, but is not limited to, efforts to identify, tag, transcribe, annotate, or otherwise enhance digitized historical records.
  *   Develop educational programs for K-12 students, undergraduate classes, or community members that encourage them to engage with historical records already in repositories or that are collected as part of the project.
  *   Collect primary source material from people through public gatherings and sponsor discussions or websites about the results.
  *   Use historical records in artistic endeavors. This could include K-12 students, undergraduate classes, or community members. Examples include projects that encourage researching and writing life stories for performance; using record facsimiles in painting, sculpture, or audiovisual collages; or using text as lyrics for music or as music.
  *   Develop technologies that encourage the sharing of information about historical records.

A grant normally is for one to three years. The Commission expects to make up to three grants of between $50,000 and $150,000. The cost share requirement for these grants is 50% of total project costs. Grants begin no earlier than 1 July 2020.The total amount allocated for this program is up to $275,000.

Deadlines: DRAFT 1 August 2019; FINAL 3 October 2019.
