Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service announced a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Digital Archival Film Photograph Collections at San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park (SAFR)" (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00210). The project sits within the Cultural Resources Management category under CFDA 15.946, and it is focused on improving how the park preserves, organizes, and provides access to its digital film and photograph holdings. The core purpose is to use trained and experienced staff from SFMNPA to catalog the park's digital archival materials so that they can be located, understood, and used more easily for both internal park needs and public benefit.
The main activity funded through this agreement is cataloging and making accessible digital film and photographic collections that are currently not available for park staff or the general public to use for research, exhibits, or interpretation. In practical terms, the project is intended to create or improve collection records and related information so that the contents of the archives are discoverable. Once cataloging work is completed, the information about these materials is expected to be accessible to park staff and to the public, supporting exhibits, historical research, and educational interpretation. The rationale emphasized in the notice is that SAFR has an ongoing responsibility to preserve the historic resources in its care and to make those resources available to the public, and the cataloging effort is positioned as a necessary step in meeting that responsibility.
In terms of funding structure and scale, the opportunity was issued as a cooperative agreement, with an estimated total funding amount of $60,000 and an award ceiling of $60,000 (with an award floor listed as $1). The announcement anticipated a single award. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated. Eligible applicants were nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which aligns with the stated intent to work with SFMNPA staff.
The timeline details show the notice was posted and created on July 28, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 15, 2014, and an archive date of August 28, 2014. Importantly, the announcement explicitly stated it was a Notice of Intent to Award and not a request for applications. In other words, it functioned as a public notice that the National Park Service planned to fund this specific project under an existing cooperative management arrangement with SFMNPA rather than opening a competitive application process.
For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed contact was Kristina Bliss, Agreements Officer, reachable by phone at 805-370-2321 or by email at kristinabliss@nps.gov. The general additional information reference pointed to grants.gov.
