The Ohio Historical Records Advisory Board (OHRAB) is pleased to announce a second grant opportunity for this year.   These grants are for $500 up to $4,500 and may be used by archival institutions to increase online access to Ohio's historical records.  Proposals must be received by June 30, 2016.  Awards will be announced July 11 , 2016 and projects must be completed by December 31, 2016.



Full details of this grant opportunity and the application packet are available at OHRAB's website http://www.ohrab.org/grants/regrant/ (information about how to acquire a hard copy is at the end of this post.)



Highlights include:



* Eligible institutions may be public or private that provide public access to archival collections without charging a fee.



* Any size institution may apply, but preference will be given to institutions with permanently valuable archival materials of 500 cubic feet or fewer.



* Eligible projects may include those involving physical access, arrangement and description; preservation (including storage materials); and cataloging.  However, projects must include producing some type of online content, such as a finding aid or digital images.



* Eligible expenses include supplies and storage materials, technical equipment, and contracted services.



Funding is made available by a Federal regrant opportunity from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), a division of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).
