Re: Archives with research proposals



Elizabeth and List,

here at the Cleveland Museum of Art, proposals for grants not awarded are
scheduled for seven year retention.  That's a little long, but it does allow
the grant writer to review the proposal if he or she ever wanted to, for
example as part of the preparation for writing new grants.  I don't see the
records as having a permanent value.

Subject: [ARCHIVES] Archives with research proposals


I just received several boxes from one of our colleges, with research
proposals which did not receive the funding requested. The message from the
originating office (Engineering) was  "Archive or Toss".
My question is: Since there is a lot work involved in preparing these
proposals and they might be useful as research for other proposals, do other
institutions keep them?  Do they have historical value?
Thanks.
