The Indiana Commission on the Social Status of Black Males (ICSSBM) is preparing for dissolution on July 1, 2026 under HEA 1003, with all records, property, appropriations, and special funds transferring into the new Indiana Cultural Commission and the Indiana Civil Rights Commission (ICRC). The June 10, 2026 commission agenda explicitly lists “Procurement Deadline, Archival Documents for ICSSBM” in the Director’s Report and “Archiving ICSSBM Documents” as new business, indicating an active need to organize, preserve, and properly transfer historical and operational records. This creates a near‑term need for archival planning, records inventory, digitization, and compliant transfer of both operating and dedicated-fund records as part of the statutory transition.Vendors offering records management, digital archiving, and policy consulting can help ICRC and the incoming Cultural Commission design retention plans, scanning workflows, and metadata schemes that meet state requirements and support long‑term access. A productive next conversation would focus on a scoped assessment of physical and electronic holdings, followed by an implementation plan that fits the commission’s remaining FY 2026 timeline and procurement deadlines referenced by the Director.

ICSSBM operating balance as of April 2026 shows approximately 90541.99 remaining in operating funds and 9841.18 in dedicated funds, which may influence scale of any archival engagement.
