The Idaho State Historical Records Advisory Board (Idaho SHRAB), through the Idaho State Historical Society, supports projects that preserve Idaho’s historical records and increase online access to them. The program also supports developing and promoting archival and records management best practices, bringing together records preservation, access, and the practices used to manage historical collections.
Funding comes from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), which enables Idaho SHRAB to regrant funds to eligible organizations across Idaho. The program seeks to connect people with primary sources both in their communities and online, supporting work that makes Idaho’s historical records more accessible.
