Opportunity Title:
Public Engagement with Historical Records
Opportunity Number:
ENGAGEMENT-202210
Description:
he National Historical Publications and Records Commission seeks projects that encourage public engagement with historical records. The NHPRC is looking for collaborative projects that create models and technologies that other institutions can freely adopt, including the development of new tools that enable people to engage online. Collaborations should include archivists as part of the project team in addition to documentary editors, historians, educators, and/or people working in community-based organizations. Projects that focus on innovative methods to introduce primary source materials and how to use them in multiple locations also are more likely to create a competitive proposal. Projects that center the voices and document the history of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color are especially welcome. In addition, with the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence approaching, the Commission is interested in projects that promote discovery and access to collections that explore the ideals behind our nation’s founding and the continuous debate over those ideals to the present day.
