The Illinois State Historical Records Advisory Board (ISHRAB) is offering scholarships to Illinois archivists and archival volunteers to attend a professional archival workshop, seminar, or conference held in Illinois (or an online professional archival development course) to enhance skills for appraising, capturing, preserving and providing access to electronic records.

Awards will be made in an amount up to $200 per applicant per year to reimburse costs for registration, housing, and/or travel to the event. ISHRAB and its representatives will award scholarships on a first-come, first-served basis until the funding is exhausted. These funds are provided by a State Board Programming Grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission.
