National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) State Historical Records Advisory Boards (SHRABs) Council of State Archivists (CoSA)

The NHPRC promotes the preservation and use of America’s documentary heritage essential to understanding our democracy, history, and culture.

The NHPRC both requires and relies on the State Historical Records Advisory Board (SHRAB) in every state to review and make recommendations on grants submitted from that state.

Federal regulations require every state or territory wishing to participate in the NHPRC grant program to establish a State Historical Records Advisory Board (SHRAB), to review grants, and make recommendations to the Commission.

The Council of State Archivists (CoSA) is made up of the State Coordinator from each state or territory.

Roles and responsibilities of board members:
