South Carolina
State Historical Records Advisory Board
(SC SHRAB)
http://shrab.palmettohistory.org/shrab1.htm
The Board is appointed by the Governor and has served the Palmetto State since 1975. Funding for activities is provided by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), the grant-making branch of the National Archives.
The SC SHRAB advises and supports efforts to identify, preserve, and provide
access to South Carolina’s historical records.
The SC SHRAB is an active and effective agent for the preservation of and wider
public access to South Carolina’s historical records and serves as a model for
the nation’s other SHRABs. It fosters and supports communication and
collaboration, as well as plays the roles of educator, advocate, promoter,
planner, and coordinator.
The SC SHRAB aids its wide array of constituents directly through grant funding
and indirectly through its coordinating role. The board provides a meeting
ground where common agendas and goals can be developed and pursued.
