Federation of North Carolina Historical Societies’ mini-grants provide funds (up to $1,500) to member organizations to complete local history projects, such as exhibitions, special programs, or collections preservation. Apply by January 31 for projects to be completed that calendar year.
Published quarterly, the Federation Bulletin contains information of interest to member organizations. In lists upcoming grant deadlines, discusses useful historical resources, shares member news, and alerts readers to upcoming workshops, conferences, and webinars.
Organizational membership includes a subscription to the Bulletin. The State Library has digitized issues up through 2023. Click the button below to access the State Publications collection in the North Carolina Digital Collection, then type "Federation Historical Societies" in the search box.
