Grants

Grant programs of the New York State government and the federal government support projects for the identification, preservation, and use of historical records.

New York State grants are offered through the New York State Archives and the New York State Library

Federal grants are offered by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), and the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS).

See the New York State Archives publication State, Federal and Private Sources of Funding for Archives, Historical Societies, Libraries and Other Not-for-Profit Organizations for information that will address funding for some of the other institutional needs of non-profit cultural agencies and organizations, including instituting preservation activities, presenting exhibits, saving historic sites, and locating personnel and technical help.
