State Board Collaborative and Planning Projects: The Commission supports State Historical Records Advisory Boards (SHRABs) for planning and statewide services. SHRABs, or state agencies or nonprofit organizations acting on behalf of the Boards, may apply for two types of activities:. Planning grants enable the SHRABs to examine the conditions of records, the health of archival and records programs, and the challenges and opportunities facing historical records keepers and users. Plans help states by setting a pragmatic action agenda for the SHRAB and its partners and by measuring and evaluating progress and effectiveness. . Collaborative projects grants enable SHRABs to undertake statewide services and make subgrants to grassroots organizations and institutions. Where SHRAB plans indicate common problems or shared opportunities, a single SHRAB or other nonprofit organization may apply as a lead organization in a partnership of multiple SHRABs. Eligible Activities Include:. Planning, including surveys, public forums, and other information gathering methods, to gain information about records holdings and needs, to identify challenges and opportunities, and to set an historical records agenda for the SHRAB and its partners. .
