The THRAB is the central advisory board for historical
records planning and for National Historical Publications and
Records Commission (NHPRC) funded projects in Tennessee. Acting
as a coordinating body, it promotes cooperation and communication
between records repositories and information agencies within
the state and serves as a state-level review body for proposals
identified in the grant program guidelines of the NHPRC. The
Board also administers regrant and other special projects for
historical records.
The Board seeks to identify, preserve, and provide access to
a wide range of historical records which include not only those
generated in the public sector which document the activities
of state and local government agencies, but also those from
the private sector which record the activities of private individuals,
families, organizations, and corporations. The format for such
records includes both the traditional paper documents and those
generated by a variety of media such as photographs, video
and motion picture film, audio recordings, and computer-generated
magnetic media. |
