Project files of the NHPRC historical records assessment and reporting survey, 1981-1993.

Under the direction of the state archivist, the Massachusetts Archives is responsible for securing, preserving, and managing noncurrent records of the Commonwealth determined to possess archival value. In 1981 the Massachusetts Archives received grant funding from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHRPC) to conduct a project to assess the state of historical records in Massachusetts. The project led to the printing of a report: Historical records in Massachusetts--prospects, programs, and plans (1983). Project files were gathered in the course of administering the grant.
