The Nevada State Historical Records Advisory Board (SHRAB), which advises the legislature on historical records priorities for the state, was recently awarded an $11,984 State Programming Grant from the National Historical Publications & Records Commission (NHPRC). In addition to contributing to SHRAB’s basic operations, the grant will fund a survey of Nevada’s historical records repositories—museums, archives, tribal knowledge centers, historical societies, and cultural centers of all shapes and sizes—to inform the Board’s strategic planning on how to best meet the needs of Nevada’s repositories. The grant will also support best practices, preservation, and access by funding educational scholarships to custodians of Nevada’s historical records. Stay tuned for more information about scholarship eligibility and applications, which will be available in July.
