Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft’s Local Records Division is pleased to announce 23 grants totaling $283,584. These awards include 17 Local Records Grant Program awards totaling $144,809 and 6 Electronic Records Grant Initiative grants worth $139,775.
“My office is pleased to help local communities in our state with records preservation,” Secretary Ashcroft said. “It’s a good thing to save the past for future generations to see.”
Based on recommendations of the Missouri Historical Records Advisory Board, the Local Records Grants provide the recipient local governments with assistance for records management and preservation projects. The Electronic Records Grant Initiative grants are intended to assist local governments in establishing good electronic records management practices and to provide greater transparency by allowing greater public access to records online.
Among the entities awarded funds was the Worth County Clerk, who received $24,500 for equipment, software, and training.
