Grant Overview
Eligibility for this grant in Montana requires applicants to hold a graduate degree in history or a related field and to commit to using at least three Montana-specific archival collections. The Montana Historical Society in Helena maintains the sole complete set of frontier-era women's homestead affidavits, and proposals must list exact folder numbers from that repository.
Applicants must also provide a letter from a Montana institution confirming physical access to the records for a minimum of 12 days. The Montana University System restricts external researcher privileges at its six campuses, so out-of-state scholars must secure written permission from the state librarian before applying. Independent researchers without current academic affiliation must submit tax forms showing Montana residency for at least one year or a letter from a tribal college verifying on-site supervision.
Application materials require a 1,200-word research plan that names the precise ledger volumes to be examined and estimates the number of women's names to be extracted for eventual publication. Panels reject plans that rely on secondary sources or digitized materials already available outside Montana.
Successful proposals in Montana have produced 60-page monographs on women homesteaders in the Hi-Line region between 1909 and 1918. Review criteria assign 35 percent of scoring to the specificity of cited Montana collections and another 25 percent to the feasibility of completing transcription within a single calendar year.
Montana applications differ from Idaho submissions because they must include a signed agreement with the Montana State Archives limiting reproduction to 50 pages per award year.
