Traveling Archivist Program

The Traveling Archivist Program (TAP) is administered by the State Archives of North Carolina with funding from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission. TAP’s purpose is to help repositories improve preservation and access for archival collections. Cultural Heritage institutions, as well as community organizations, with archival holdings are eligible.

 

TAP 2022: When Are We Us? Training and Resources for America250 Collecting and Programs

A team of traveling archivists will help selected TAP recipients work with document and audio-visual collections to improve preservation and access. This in-depth consultation is available at no charge to five or more organizations in 2022 and 2023. The program will proceed in stages, beginning with a virtual meeting and including at least one on-site visit.

Recipient responsibilities include: announcements to publicize participation, including notification to local representatives; work time directed to implementing TAP recommendations; and evaluation of this service at the end of the cycle.

  • whether collections management policies currently exist and which types
  • current condition and preservation needs
  • environmental conditions for storage and/ or display
