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 available through the North Carolina Digital Collections. Click below to access back issues.
We invite you to join the Federation so you can receive the current issue of the Federation Bulletin by email.
