In today’s opening session, NGS platinum sponsor Archives.com announced it will make a special $1,000 dollar grant award to one conference attendee! The Archives.com Grant Program funds important individual and communal initiatives that contribute to the promotion and advancement of family history research and historical preservation. Archives makes a monthly award from their website, but has decided to go one step further and make a special grant award here in Charleston!
Are you working on or planning a family history project that needs an extra boost to get off the ground? If so, Archives encourages you to apply. Past winners have been both individuals and organizations who have taken on unique and challenging family history projects. Your project could be: restoring damaged photos, digitizing historical material, organizing a community event, or anything in between.
Here’s how it works. If you’re an NGS attendee, stop by Archives.com booths #229 and #231 to pick up an application. You can turn this hard-copy application back in to them during Exhibit Hall hours no later than 11am Saturday, May 14th. The lucky winner will be announced Saturday afternoon.
The Archives.com Grant recipient will receive a $1,000 dollar award to fund their project, and a feature on the Archives.com website.
Thank you to Archives.com for this generous gift! Visit them at booths #229 and #231 to apply and learn more.
