The National Historical Publications and Records Commission staff will
hold a conference call on June 29, 2009, to answer questions about its
Archives: Basic Projects grants.
In brief, the Commission developed this category because it is
particularly concerned that some historical collections in archives and
repositories are difficult for most researchers to find because they are
not processed or represented in national catalogs. As a result, the
Commission seeks proposals for projects that support backlog processing
and collections cataloging, phased preservation, and/or collections
development.
The full announcement is available on our website: http://www.archives.gov/nhprc/announcement/basic.html
Applications are due on October 6, 2009. NHPRC staff will review drafts that are submitted by August 3, 2009.
The conference call will begin on Monday, June 29 at 3:00 PM Eastern
Time and last one hour. If you are interested in participating, please
send an email to Nathan Sowry at nathan.sowry@nara.gov. He will send you the information on how to participate. We are limited to 25
participants in this call. A second call will be scheduled for mid-July
for those unable to participate on June 29.
Please share this announcement with other appropriate individuals and
listservs.
