Dear all,
List members may be interested in a number of grants and prizes that the Society for Post-Medieval Archaeology administers annually. Please note that the Society now covers archaeology "up to the present day."
http://www.spma.org.uk/
The Paul Courtney Student Travel Award has been established to enable student members of the SPMA to participate in European conferences. The total fund available in a single year is £200. The deadline is 10 January.
The Society makes small research grants to its members, twice a year, to enable research projects and publications to be undertaken on the post-medieval archaeology of Britain, Europe and the wider world, from c.1500 to the present day. Deadlines are 1 March and 1 September each year and the total fund available in each round is £1,500.
The Society invites nominations from British and Irish university departments, one for undergraduate and one for postgraduate dissertations, on the subject of the post-medieval archaeology of Britain, Europe and the wider world, from c.1500 to the present day. The prize – which goes to the student - is £250, free membership of the Society for one year, and a conference bursary for the year of the award. The deadline for the 2015 Undergraduate Prize is 1 September and the deadline for the Postgraduate prize is 15 December.
Funding of up to £500 is available annually for community engagement. The Community Engagement Award is designed to support individuals, groups and societies in developing new public-facing initiatives, whether one-off events, programmes of activities, digital archaeology or other creative outputs. The deadline for applications each year is 1st March, and applicants need not be members of the Society.
