The Illinois State Historical Records Advisory Board (ISHRAB) promotes the identification, preservation, access to, and use of historical records in Illinois. It advocates and encourages professional custodianship and cooperation in the recordkeeping community to ensure citizens’ access to records and preserve of their cultural and historical heritage. To fulfill its mission to the archival community, the ISHRAB has created a grant program to assist historical records repositories located in Illinois in obtaining funds for smaller projects that may not qualify for funding under larger grant making agencies.
