About

The Virginia State Historical Records Advisory Board (SHRAB) is the central advisory body for historical records coordination in the state of Virginia. SHRAB works with the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) to advise institutions, create plans for historical records, provide assistance with grant reviews, and undertake statewide projects. The Virginia SHRAB was established in the 1970s and has facilitated a variety of programs over the years including a statewide survey, a re-grant program, trainings, and more.
