REGION–The Michigan State Historical Records Advisory Board is partnering with the National Historical Publications and Records Commission to offer re-grants to smaller Michigan historical organizations and institutions that preserve archival records. The Save Michigan History grant program will provide grants of up to $2,000 to preserve records and make them accessible to the public.
Details and application materials are available at mshrab.org. Applications are due March 1, 2017.
‘The diverse stories of Michigan are not saved in one museum or archives, but in hundreds of organizations and institutions across the state,’ said Mark Harvey, state archivist of Michigan. ‘People expect these historical records be available, but few understand the challenges of finding funding to preserve them and make them accessible.’
The Michigan State Historical Records Advisory Board, appointed by the governor, serves as a central advisory body for historical records planning and for National Historical Publications and Records Commission-funded projects in the state.
The board works in conjunction with the Archives of Michigan to facilitate cooperation and communication among historical records repositories and information agencies within the state. It also serves as a state-level review body for grant proposals that meet National Historical Publications and Records Commission grant program guidelines.
The Michigan History Center is part of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. Its museum and archival programs foster curiosity, enjoyment and inspiration rooted in Michigan’ stories. It includes the Michigan History Museum, 10 regional museums, Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary and Underwater Preserve, and the Archives of Michigan. Learn more at www.michigan.gov/mhc.
