JEFFERSON CITY –The State Historical Society of Missouri is seeking proposals to help Missouri cultural heritage institutions preserve and provide access to local history.
Brownlee Local History Grants of up to $500 are available for the preservation of historical records or for education and programming activities. A maximum of $5,000 will be awarded this year.
The preservation of historical local records includes the purchase of archival supplies to store or display personal papers, photographs, maps, or other materials. Funds may not be used for the preservation of federal, state, or local government documents.
The other area of focus can be education or programming activities to promote learning about local history or training for the preservation of local history records.
Grants are available to Missouri cultural heritage institutions that are organizational members of the State Historical Society with preference given to local historical societies.
