Description
The John Randolph Haynes and Dora Haynes Foundation’s Archival Grants support significant archival and cataloging projects important to the Los Angeles region, public policy, and regional history. The foundation allocates a small portion of its grant funds to preserving regional history and collections, with support typically directed toward archival preservation, organization, and accessibility.
The program is intended for institutions holding relevant collections, including libraries, archives, special collections, universities, and nonprofits. Collections must have strong relevance to the Los Angeles region. Selection considers the fragility, rarity, and condition of materials, connecting preservation needs with their historical and public-policy importance. A limited number of grants are available, and awards are made once a year.
