The Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission recently approved 31 Historical & Archival Records Care grants totaling nearly $200,000 to help preserve Pennsylvania’s significant historical records and make them accessible.
Bucks County Historical Society received $12,925.
HARC grants fund projects designed to improve the preservation and accessibility of historically significant records maintained by local governments, historical societies and academic institutions.
The grants were based on a competitive review of the applications by a subcommittee of the Pennsylvania State Historical Records Advisory Board. HARC grants are administered by the Pennsylvania State Archives, a bureau within PHMC. Funding for the awards spans two years. Grants $5,001 and above must include matching funds.
SHRAB operates under federal regulations governing the National Historical Publications & Records Commission and serves as the central advisory body for historical records planning in the state.
