National Historical Publications & Records Commission

The National Archives grants program is administered by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC). We support a wide range of projects to help people discover, access and use historical records held by repositories across the United States of America.

The NHPRC currently funds:

State Historical Records Advisory Boards

Archival Projects

Historical Documentary Editions

Established by legislation creating the National Archives in 1934, the NHPRC has made over 5,000 grants and awarded more than $250 million to projects in every state in the nation. See a list of all awards by state since 1964.

The Commission is a 15-member advisory body chaired by the Archivist of the United States. You can see a list of the current members and read about the Commission's biannual meetings.
