The National Historical Publications and Records Commission seeks proposals to publish online editions of historical records.
All types of historical records are eligible, including documents, photographs, born-digital records, and analog audio.
Projects may focus on broad historical movements
in U. S. history, such as law (including the social and political history of the law), politics, social reform, business, military, the arts, and other aspects of the national experience.
Projects that center the voices and document the history of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color are especially welcome.
Opportunities for FY2026 are limited to current and previously funded projects in the Publishing Historical Records in Collaborative Digital Editions and Mellon Planning Grants for Collaborative Digital Editions in African American, Asian American, Hispanic American, and Native American History and Ethnic Studies programs.
Due to funding constraints, the program is not accepting proposals from new projects for FY202 6.
