The NARA FY2026 budget justification eliminates funding for the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC). NHPRC administers grants to organizations to preserve US history. Read SAA's statement and tell your representatives to support robust appropriations for NHPRC:

We continue to stand with our #IMLS colleagues and hope for the same outcome for #NEH and #NEA. "The Fiscal Year 2026 budget for federal agencies is still on deck." - it's not too late to contribute to this all-in effort to save our #libraries #arts and the #humanities.
“There is no more crucial time than now to speak up on behalf of libraries + the IMLS than now. There are 17 members on the Labor, Health + Human Services, Education, + Related Agencies Subcommittee... Each and every one of them should be contacted over the next couple of weeks”
We Can Still Save the Institute for Museum and Library Services
Act now to help save the Institute for Museum and Library Services and ensure the well-being of public libraries nationwide.
