BAC is excited to announce this year’s cataloguing grant for business archives. This year a single award of £5,000 is available.
The aim of this grant is to fund the cataloguing of a business archive collection(s) in either the private or public sector, and to:
• provide financial support for institutions/businesses that manage business archives
• reach collections that have not yet been prioritised but have academic, socio-historical and wider value
• create opportunities for archivists, paraprofessionals and volunteers to gain experience in cataloguing business collections
• make more business collections accessible
Criteria for the grant and how to apply is available in the guidance notes below. Previous applicants are welcome to re-apply. Please note that the BAC will not award a grant to the same institution within three years. The decision on the award of the grant will be made by a Cataloguing Grant Panel established by BAC which consists of two executive committee members and one non-executive member. Panel members will not judge applications where they have a research or employment affiliation.
The Cataloguing Grant for Business Archives (2023) opens today, 11 April 2023, with the deadline for applications being 4pm on Friday 23 June. Further information, including guidance notes will be made available on the BAC’s website: https://businessarchivescouncil.org.uk/activitiesobjectives/catgrant/
