With apologies for cross-posting:

 

The LIHG is offering two James Ollé Awards in 2016. The value of each award is up to £500. Anyone with an interest in library and/or information history is encouraged to apply for an award; candidates do not need to be affiliated to libraries, archives or academic institutions. However, recipients of awards must be members of the LIHG (or join the Group after receiving the award). One of the awards is reserved for a registered student (undergraduate or postgraduate) and/or unwaged applicant. James Ollé Award recipients are required to write a report (maximum 1000 words) of the work undertaken for inclusion in the Newsletter.

 

Please note that CILIP members can choose to join two groups without paying an extra fee. Membership of CILIP is free to registered students. Examples of what an award might be used to fund include, but are not limited to:

 

• travel and accommodation costs in order to undertake research

 

• reproduction costs (photocopying, digitisation or photography)

 

Further particulars, expressions of interest and applications, which should include a brief CV, a statement of plans, a draft budget and the names and addresses of two referees, should be sent to the Group's Awards Manager, Dr Dorothy Clayton ([log in to unmask]), by 30 December 2016.
