Tennessee Historical Records Advisory Board (THRAB)
The THRAB is the central advisory board for historical records planning and for National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) funded projects in Tennessee. Acting as a coordinating body, it promotes cooperation and communication between records repositories and information agencies within the state and serves as a state-level review body for proposals identified in the grant program guidelines of the NHPRC. The Board also administers regrant and other special projects for historical records. The Board seeks to identify, preserve, and provide access to a wide range of historical records which include not only those generated in the public sector which document the activities of state and local government agencies, but also those from the private sector which record the activities of private individuals, families, organizations, and corporations. The format for such records includes both the traditional paper documents and those generated by a variety of media such as photographs, video and motion picture film, audio recordings, and computer-generated magnetic media.
