About

The Connecticut State Historical Records Advisory Board (CT SHRAB) is a nineteen member board appointed by the governor. The National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), a funding arm of the National Archives, created the State Historical Records Advisory Boards (SHRAB) during the United States Bicentennial Celebration as part of a national effort to save and make accessible those documents upon which the rights of the People depend in a democracy as well as those necessary for the study and appreciation of American history. Federal Regulation (36 CFR 1206.41(a)) which established the NHPRC is the authority for the SHRABs.
