Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners

The Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners offers three major grant opportunities to libraries in the Commonwealth: State Aid to Public Libraries, Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) direct grants, and Massachusetts Public Library Construction Program grants. State Aid and Construction grants are open to public libraries. LSTA grants are open to all libraries that are members of the Massachusetts Library System.

Massachusetts State Historic Records Advisory Board

The Massachusetts SHRAB is the state-level review body for grant proposals submitted to the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC). The Massachusetts SHRAB is available to provide guidance in determining appropriate grant project proposals as well as review of grant drafts. While the primary focus is on the NHRPC grants, including the Roving Archivist Program, the Massachusetts SHRAB is also available to assist with private grants or grants from other governmental agencies.
