The William E. Foley Research Fellowship

The William E. Foley Research Fellowship was created to help support the use of public records in scholarly research. Any researcher with a project that utilizes the holdings of the Missouri State Archives or its St. Louis branch to further knowledge of state or national history is eligible for a reimbursement of up to $2,000 for travel expenses and duplication fees.

Foley Fellowships are funded by the Friends of the Missouri State Archives. By supporting this program, the Friends hopes to encourage scholars to explore the common heritage of Missourians.

The Missouri Historical Records Grant Program (MHRGP)

The Missouri Historical Records Grant Program (MHRGP) was created through a collaborative effort between the state of Missouri and the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), the grant-awarding arm of the National Archives and Records Administration. Since 2001, the program has been administered by the Missouri State Archives, Office of the Secretary of State, on behalf of the Missouri Historical Records Advisory Board, and has awarded over one half million dollars for the preservation and access of Missouri’s historical records, and to promote archival education and cooperation among records keepers.

The third round of grants were awarded mid-2004 with all remaining state and federal funds given to winning applicant projects. The list of grant recipients in each cycle is below. For more information about the conclusion of this successful program, contact Dr. Shelly Croteau at (573) 751-4303 or e-mail grantprogram@sos.mo.gov.
