The New York State Archives is pleased to announce the availability of the guidelines and application for the 2026-2027 Documentary Heritage Program (DHP) Grants funding cycle. DHP grants are designed to build more comprehensive and equitable documentation of New York State’s history and culture by supporting projects that identify, survey, collect, arrange, describe, and make available records that relate to groups and topics traditionally under-represented in the State.
DHP funds projects from non-profit organizations that improve access to historical records including but not limited to arrangement & description, digitization, documentation planning, conversion of descriptive tools for online access, community archiving, and reparative description.
Grant funding is also available for recipients of Archival Needs Assessments (ANA) through the State Archives’ Documentary Heritage and Preservation Services for New York (DHPSNY) program. Applicants can apply for funding to implement one or more recommendations in the DHPSNY ANA report.
Application Deadline: June 2, 2026.
