Changes for 2010-2011
- The Outcome and Evaluation section of the application has been revised. An explanation of these revisions and instructive narrative writing samples can be found in Section II of the Grant Application Narrative Form Instructions and in the Resource Document entitled, Outcomes and Evaluation: Samples to Use When Formatting and Writing your Section II Narrative.
- All applicants must clearly demonstrate adherence to archival standards and best practices. For Documentation projects, see the example of a MARC record. For Arrangement & Description projects, applicants can also refer to a Finding Aid Template and updated definitions of “Arrangement” and “Description”.
For all applicants, publicizing your project is strongly encouraged. More information about this can be found in the section, Publicity/Credit Line. - The maximum allowable number of pages in your Grant Project Narrative has been reduced from ten to seven pages.
- Your organization’s mission statement is now a required attachment. Further explanation can be found in the section, Organizational Capacity.
- For all Documentation project applications, grantees are expected to plan for, and implement, the eventual placement of the valuable historical records identified and surveyed during the project in an appropriate historical records repository. Further information can be found in Section 1, Grant Project Type, Documentation.
- For all Arrangement & Description project applications, a sample finding aid, created by your repository or by your project’s Archival Consultant, must be provided. See the Application Narrative Instructions, Project Description.
