or corporate archives that are maintained by a
variety of general repositories as well as materials
in special collections relating to particular fields
of study, including the arts, business, education,
ethnic and minority groups, immigration, labor,
politics, the professions, religion, science, urban
affairs, and women. In addition to supporting
projects relating directly to a body of records, the
Commission may also support projects to pro-
mote cooperative efforts among institutions and
organizations and to improve the knowledge, per-
formance, and professional skills of those who
work with historical records.
Records program grants are not intended to re-
place support from other sources for historical re-
cords projects; rather, they are intended to sup-
plement and expand such projects throughout the
country.
Further information is available in a pamphlet
entitled Guidelines and Procedures: Applications

dinator.
