Are you considering a new project to improve access to your collections? Have you received an archival need assessment form DHPSNY? Do your collections capture the stories of marginalized communities? If you answered yes to any of these questions and you are a non-profit organization you should consider applying for funding from the New York State Archives to support your work. http://www.archives.nysed.gov/grants/documentary-heritage-program-grants

The New York State Archives Documentary Heritage Program (DHP) grants are designed to build more comprehensive and equitable documentation of New York State’s history and culture by supporting projects that identify, survey, collect, arrange, describe, and make available records that relate to groups and topics traditionally under-represented in the State’s historical record. In addition, the grants provide funding for recipients of DHPSNY Archival Needs Assessments.

Heather Carroll and John Diefenderfer from the Documentary Heritage Program will provide background information about the DHP grants, the application process, and recent changes to funding priorities. We are also happy to answer any questions you might have about DHP grants.
