Preserving and Providing Access to Records: The NHPRC sponsors a variety of projects and programs to preserve and make available for use those records that further an understanding and appreciation of American history. The Commission encourages archival repositories, state and local governments, historical societies, libraries, academic institutions, and others to act vigorously to locate and preserve documents of national and state historical significance. Commission-supported projects help to ensure that these records are saved and made available for public use. Commission grants help archives, colleges and universities, and historical societies assess records conditions and needs, develop archival and records management programs, and provide support for historical photograph, newsfilm, and sound recordings preservation and for microfilming. Behind all of this work is the Commissions determination to safeguard a national documentary legacy that, if lost, cannot be replaced.
