EAST OF ENGLAND REGIONAL ARCHIVES COUNCIL (EERAC)
The East of England Regional Archives Council invites applications for grants in 2015 under its small grants scheme
PURPOSE OF THE GRANTS
Grants are intended to support work focussed on small archival projects for which it is difficult to find alternative funding. The aim of such projects should be to support the preservation of or access to historical records in the East of England; they can include the purchase of archival supplies, conservation, storage, cataloguing, the provision of lists for the National Register of Archives and the digitisation of records to enable their free online dissemination. Projects relating to audio-visual archives are welcomed.
Grants will only be awarded to projects which can demonstrate a commitment to long term preservation of and/or access to archival material. EERAC particularly wishes to support work relating to records at risk of dispersal, neglect, loss or damage. Applications from partnerships of more than one organisation are acceptable.
SIZE OF THE GRANTS
In 2015 a total of £2500 will be offered. Grants are normally offered as sums of £750 and £500, but EERAC reserves the right to disburse grants of different sizes where it sees fit. Grants will not normally exceed 50% of the total cost of the project.
ELIGIBILITY
Applications will be accepted from archives, archivists and user groups which are based in the East of England region covered by EERAC (Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk, Peterborough and Suffolk).
