Opportunity Summary:
The State and National Archival Partnership (SNAP) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), administered through the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC). Its core purpose is to strengthen archival and historical records programs across every state and, taken together, to build a coordinated national archival network. In practical terms, SNAP is meant to support the statewide infrastructure that helps archives, manuscript repositories, and other historical records keepers function effectively, plan strategically, and respond to shared challenges.
SNAP funding is awarded specifically to State Historical Records Advisory Boards (SHRABs) in each state, or to the state agency that houses or is responsible for the SHRAB, which is most often the state archives. The program also allows another state agency or an eligible nonprofit partner (such as a foundation or a university) to apply on behalf of the designated state agency, but the underlying requirement remains the same: the applicant must be acting for the official SHRAB structure in that state or jurisdiction. The eligibility scope explicitly includes not only the 50 states, but also the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and US territories. Applications that do not meet this eligibility requirement are considered ineligible and are not reviewed, which makes confirming the applicant relationship to the SHRAB a central threshold issue.
The activities SNAP is designed to support are broad, but they are all tied to strengthening statewide archival capacity and coordination. Funded work may include providing statewide archival services such as professional education and training, public information and outreach about records and archival programs, and other efforts that advance or implement statewide archival plans. Another major allowable area is running regrant or pass-through grant programs within the state, where the SHRAB administers competitive funding for eligible archives, manuscript repositories, and related organizations. SNAP also encourages collaboration, whether that means partnerships among organizations within a state to address common problems or consortia across multiple state archives to tackle shared opportunities that benefit the wider archival community.
A key emphasis of the program is assessment and planning. SNAP funds can support evaluating the overall health of archival and records programs, examining the physical and intellectual conditions of records, and identifying the main challenges and opportunities facing both records custodians and the public users who rely on those records. The intent is not assessment for its own sake, but assessment that leads to concrete strategies, programs, and interventions aimed at the most pressing archival issues in the state or region. In addition, SNAP supports convening power: SHRABs may use funds to hold meetings and public forums focused on statewide or national archival issues, strengthening communication across stakeholders and helping align priorities.
SNAP also recognizes that state-level archival capacity is tied to national coordination, so participation in national archival organizations is an eligible and encouraged component. This element helps ensure that states are not operating in isolation and that promising practices, standards, and lessons learned can flow across jurisdictions as part of a national archival network.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is categorized under Humanities (with a cultural affairs connection in CFDA context) and is listed under CFDA number 89.003 (National Historical Publications and Records Grants). The funding instrument is a grant, and cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants should be prepared to document non-federal contributions consistent with the program rules in the full announcement. The award ceiling listed for this opportunity is $65,000, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor $0), signaling that award sizes may vary depending on the scope and quality of proposals and available funds.
The posting date for the referenced cycle was December 15, 2010, with a closing deadline of September 8, 2011, and an archive date of October 8, 2011. While those dates reflect the specific announcement cycle provided, the program summary is useful for understanding the intended purpose, eligible applicants, and typical project types supported by SNAP.
