8 9. 003 ? Preliminary Proposal Deadline:
February 25, 2021 NHPRC support begins no earlier than January 1, 202 2.
Grant Program Description The National Historical Publications and Records Commission seeks projects that will significantly improve public discovery and use of major historical records collections.
The Commission is especially interested in collections of America’s early legal records, such as the records of colonial, territorial, county, and early statehood and tribal proceedings that document the evolution of the nation’s legal history.
All types of historical records are eligible, including documents, photographs, born-digital records, and analog audio and moving images.
Projects may:
? Digitize historical records collections, or related collections, held by a single institution and make them freely available online ? Provide access to born-digital records ? Create new freely-available virtual collections drawn from historical records held by multiple institutions ? Create new tools and methods for users to access records The NHPRC welcomes collaborative projects, particularly for bringing together related records from multiple institutions.
Projects that address significant needs in the field and result in replicable and scalable approaches will be more competitive.
We also encourage organizations to actively engage the public in the work of the project.
Applicants should also consult Access to Historical Records:
Archival Projects program, which has different requirements and award amounts.

Additional Information of Eligibility:
The following entities are eligible to apply for a NAGPRA Consultation/Documentation Grant: An Indian Tribe, Alaska Native village, or Native Hawaiian Organization An "Indian tribe" means any tribe, band, nation, or other organized group or community of Indians, including any Alaska Native village (as defined in, or established pursuant to, the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act), which is recognized as eligible for the special programs and services provided by the United States to Indians because of their status as Indians.
The Department of the Interior has interpreted this definition as applying to over 573 Indian tribes and Alaska Native villages that are recognized by the United States Government.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs’ list of Federally recognized tribes is available at www.bia.gov.
This list does not include Alaska regional or village corporations, although Alaska Native Villages may subcontract work under grants to such corporations.
“Native Hawaiian organization” includes any organization that: a) serves and represents the interests of Native Hawaiians; b) has as a primary and stated purpose the provision of services to Native Hawaiians; and c) has expertise in Native Hawaiian Affairs.
NAGPRA states that this shall include the Office of Hawaiian Affairs.
A museum that has control of Native American human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects, or objects of cultural patrimony and has received Federal funds.
The term “Museum” includes state or local government agencies, private institutions, and institutions of higher learning that have received Federal funds.
Eligible museums must have completed and provided the following documents to the National NAGPRA Program and to Indian tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations, as appropriate: A NAGPRA Summary of the Native American unassociated funerary objects, sacred objects or objects of cultural patrimony in their possession or control by November 16, 1993, and thereafter according to timelines established by 43 CFR 10.13.
A NAGPRA Inventory of Native American human remains and associated funerary objects in their possession or control by November 16, 1995 (or other deadline as stipulated by the Department of the Interior), and thereafter according to timelines established by 43 CFR 10.13.
A museum that has not yet completed the initial requirements of NAGPRA (summaries and inventories), but does so prior to submitting a grant proposal, may then be eligible to receive an award.
Museums determined to be out of compliance with NAGPRA may be excluded from consideration.
Federal agencies may not apply for grants.
Applicants who previously received a NAGPRA grant but did not meet the conditions of the grant agreement, including reports or deliverables, may be penalized in the review process.
Questions about eligibility should be directed to the Awarding Agency using the information provided in Section G of this announcement.
