A reminder that the deadline for applications for the Business Archive Council's cataloguing grant is 30th June 2010.

In support of the National Strategy for Business Archives, the Business Archives Council (BAC) is delighted to announce a new cataloguing grant for business collections which we hope to make available annually during strategy implementation, 2010-2015.

The aim of the grant, in funding the cataloguing of a business collection in either the private or public sector, is to:

• provide financial support for institutions/businesses that manage business archives
• reach collections that have not yet been prioritised but have potential academic or socio-historical value
• create opportunities for archivists or para-professionals/volunteers to gain experience in listing business collections
• make more business collections accessible

We envisage that the £2000 grant will be used over the equivalent of a 4-week period to fund an archive intern or temporary staff member (under professional supervision) to catalogue a discrete collection of business records. This can either be a detailed catalogue of a small collection or a top-level catalogue of a more substantial collection. Grant recipients should provide the BAC with an article for its newsletter, and the catalogue should be made available to the National Register of Archives (published by The National Archives). Any questions about the grant should be addressed to Karen Sampson, Honorary Secretary of the Business Archives Council, at
