Archival Training

The Tennessee Archives Institute is a two and one-half day series of workshops on the principles and practices of archival management and records preservation.

Recovering Lost or Stolen Public Records

Tennessee’s public records are created by state and local governments in conducting the business of the people of Tennessee. They document the work of public agencies and represent the evidence by which citizens may understand the consequences of decisions made by their government. In essence, they allow the governed to hold those who govern accountable. To that end, these documents must always remain available for public inspection.

Grants to Local Archives

The Archives Development Program manages two grant programs for archives and historical organizations: the Archives Development Program Direct Grants and the State Board Programming Regrant (SBPG) Grants.

Tennessee Archives Management Advisories (TAMAs)

Resource Guides: Under the direction of the Assistant State Archivist, the Tennessee State Library and Archives will, from time to time, issue advisories on archives management topics that are important to archives managers in state and local government. These advisories are meant to serve as guidelines to provide information on basic archival principles and techniques.
