The Department of Records and Information Services has secured one grant and applied for others to fund additional archivists.

  • Currently, they have one grant secured.
  • They have applied for multiple grants with the hope of funding additional archivist positions.
  • These positions are intended to work on the department's oldest collections, including a council collection that dates back to the 1700s.
  • Securing these grants is a priority for the department.
