Due to an increasing demand for archival consultants the Massachusetts
Archives and the Massachusetts Historical Records Advisory Board are seeking
to expand its database of archival consultants names and contact
information.  This database (list) of names will be made available to anyone
looking for archival consultation. The database is not limited to
Massachusetts; consultants from neighboring states are encouraged to send
their information.

This is a good opportunity for those archivists who are looking for
full-time project work, as well as others who would like to share their
skills on a very limited, short-term basis.  The need is there.  We have had
many requests for this information from municipal governments, historical
societies and museums, and public libraries, to name a few.

In particular, the Documentary Heritage grant program, sponsored by the
Secretary of the Commonwealth, William Francis Galvin, and with a grant from
the National Historical Publications and Records Commission, is presently
reviewing potential fundable projects. The MHRAB anticipates to award
between 20-25 grants, with projects commencing in mid-summer 2005.
