The following excerpt is from Joan Griffis’ Illinois Ancestors column posted in the May 14, 2014 edition of the News-Gazette.
According to the most recent issue of the Illinois State Archives Newsletter, “For the Record” (Spring 2014), the Illinois State Historical Records Advisory Board “is offering scholarships to Illinois archivists and archival volunteers to attend a professional archival workshop/seminar of their choice in Illinois, or an online professional archival development course. Awards are available for up to $200 per applicant per year, and may be used toward the cost of registration, housing and/or travel to the event. It is a reimbursable award.”
The scholarships are awarded “on a first-come, first-served basis until the funding is exhausted.”
