NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD Preparing National Park Service Records for Improved Public Access | Apply Online

Opportunity Information: Apply for P15AS00344

The National Park Service (NPS) has announced its intention to award funding for a project titled "Preparing National Park Service Records for Improved Public Access" in collaboration with Western Washington University (WWU). This project aims to enhance public access to significant natural and cultural resource records managed by the NPS, particularly in light of heightened public interest due to issues like climate change and biodiversity.

The anticipated total award amount is $287,521, with an agreement length set until April 1, 2018. The project will be executed through a cooperative agreement, focusing on processing, arranging, rehousing, and cataloging archival collections from parks, with an initial emphasis on records from Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park and Water Resources Division archives.

Key objectives include creating organized collections to improve accessibility for public researchers and park staff, enhancing security of the archives, and preparing National Register and National Historic Landmark nominations for digitization. This project will occur in multiple phases, with the first phase involving the organization of approximately 65 linear feet of archives and preparation of about 650 linear feet of nominations.

WWU will provide training for students and postgraduate researchers, who will apply best archival practices while working under the guidance of experienced NPS archivists. The NPS will support the project by selecting the archival collections, establishing project timelines, and providing necessary resources and training.

This initiative builds on previous successful collaborations between NPS and WWU, underscoring the unique qualifications of WWU for this ongoing work. The NPS justified the non-competitive nature of the award based on the continuation of prior efforts and WWU's demonstrated expertise.
