Archival Consultants Needed



The Missouri Historical Records Grant Program (MHRGP) is looking for
consultants to assist subgrantees in one-day, one-week, and two-week
consultation projects. Funding for the professional review of records
management and/or preservation activities will result in written plans
identifying short-term and long-range projects for recipient organizations.
Consultants may also aid in the development of collection policies, mission
statements, outreach activities, or advise on the particular  educational
opportunities of greatest benefit to staff or volunteers.

The MHRGP was created through a collaborative effort between the state of
Missouri and the National Historical Publications and Records Commission
(NHPRC), the grant-awarding arm of the National Archives and Records
Administration. The grant program is administered by the Missouri State
Archives, Office of the Secretary of State, on behalf of the Missouri
Historical Records Advisory Board. The program awards financial assistance
to help preserve and make accessible Missouri's historical records and
promote archival education and cooperation among records keepers.

Grants will be given to support training and professional development for
staff and volunteers, increased access to records, acquisition of
preservation supplies, services, and equipment, and strategic planning and
consultation with professionals. Eligible institutions are historic, ethnic
and religious societies, museums, libraries, and colleges or universities
with records of historic value that are open to the public.

The deadline for cycle 1 applications is June 30th. Cycle 1 will begin in
early September of 2001.

Grant guidelines and application forms are available on-line at

contacting me.
