Haynes Foundation: Archival Grants

The Haynes Foundation offers Archival Grants to support cataloging and archival projects at libraries in Los Angeles. These grants focus on materials relevant to Southern California and public policy, considering factors like rarity and completeness. Notable past recipients include The Huntington Library and the Japanese American National Museum. Partial funding is typically provided, and preference is given to applicants securing matching funds from other sources. Interested applicants should notify the Foundation before submitting a proposal.

NOTE:  It is requested that, prior to actually submitting a proposal, applicants notify the Foundation of their intent to apply and also submit on-line a Proposal Information Form.
A modest portion of the Foundation’s annual research budget is reserved to support archival and cataloging projects at libraries and other local institutions in Los Angeles. The relevance and significance of the materials to Southern California and public policy, along with their fragility, rarity and completeness are considered in selecting projects for these awards.
Recent recipients of archival funding include The Huntington Library, the Southern California Library for Social Studies and Research, the Public Library of the City of Los Angeles, the Japanese American National Museum, and the libraries of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, the University of California at Los Angeles, the University of Southern California and Loyola Marymount University.
In general, archival projects will receive only partial funding from the Haynes Foundation.
