Updated application forms for the Maine Historical Records Collections Grant Program are now available at http://www.state.me.us/sos/arc/mhrab/grants.html.

With this grant program, the Maine Historical Records Advisory Board supports the efforts of Maine's nonprofit organizations as they preserve their original historical records. The most likely projects involve organizing and rehousing collections in archival folders and boxes; hiring a consultant to make recommendations for the organization and care of the collections; or microfilming archival records, with a CD produced for access. Next "Basic Project" deadline is August 1; "Major Project" deadline is October 1.
