Documentary Heritage Program
The Documentary Heritage Program (DHP)—is a statewide program established by law in 1988 to ensure the identification, sound administration, and accessibility of New York's historical records. The DHP provides grants to not-for-profit organizations in New York State that collect, hold and make available historical records. Funding is available for strategic planning projects, arrangement and description of historical records, and surveying of records of under-documented populations and/or activities.
For further information about the DHP program, including DHP Priorities and Regional Services, visit the Documentary Heritage Program (DHP) information page.
