| Abstract: | This article describes the process of finding the right grant to meet the needs of a processing project, the application and peer review process, and the experience of administering the grant received from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC). The project is the processing of the YWCA of Brooklyn Collection, housed at Brooklyn College. The records have significant research potential in a variety of fields including women’s studies and sociology. While generally smooth, the administration of the grant has required the replacement of a departing Project Archivist, and the use of interns for some conservation work. |
