The National Park Service (NPS) is offering this grant to promote access to its vital archives. This grant is for the purpose of cataloging and making accessible the permanent resource management records, which embody a century of data on park cultural and natural resources. A significant challenge is that over 40% of the agency’s known archives are currently uncataloged and inaccessible. The increasing need to utilize the critical information within these records for park management and research grows daily. This funding aims to unlock these valuable historical assets, ensuring their content can be fully utilized.
