CHARLESTON – Gov. Joe Manchin today announced that the Records Management and Preservation Board (RMPB) has awarded more than $250,000 in grant funds to 28 county commissions across the state.  The funds will go to projects aimed at improving the management, storage conditions, access and preservation of public records held in several county offices.

Gov. Manchin said, “The preservation and modernization of our records is so important, and managing our state’s historic documents is no easy task. These funds will help give our county officials the tools they need to ensure that our future generations have access to West Virginia’s exciting history.”

Funding for the County Records Management and Preservation Program is provided from the filing fees collected by county clerks and deposited in the special Public Records and Preservation Account. The funds serve as an incentive to county officials to improve the management of their public records and conditions for their preservation.
