Professional Development
The NHPRC promotes continuing development of professional skills for archivists, records managers, and historical editors. The NHPRC is revamping its program to include:
Institute for the Editing of Historical Documents
The Institute for the Editing of Historical Documents is jointly sponsored by the Commission, the Wisconsin Historical Society, and the University of Wisconsin. The Institute is a free, one-week seminar on the process of editing historical documentary editions, and it is open to aspiring editorial scholars.
Early each year, the NHPRC issues an announcement with instructions to applicants.
Historical Editing Fellowships
Fellowships for historical editors are apprenticeships for aspiring editorial scholars who work under the direction of a seasoned professional on actual editorial projects. Grants are awarded directly to NHPRC-funded projects to enable them to directly select fellows.
