Is your archive struggling to fund a cataloguing project? The Business Archives Council can help. Its cataloguing grant for business collections is open for another month so you still have time to submit your application to bid for £4000. The aim of the grant is to fund the cataloguing of a business collection 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 potential academic or socio-historical value; • Create opportunities for archivists or para-professionals/volunteers to gain experience in listing business collections; • Increase access to business collections. The closing date for applications is 25 June 2018. Find out more about the grant criteria and how to apply on the BAC website: https://www.businessarchivescouncil.org.uk/activitiesobjectives/catgrant/ Any questions about the grant should be addressed to Jenny Willis, Administrator, Business Archives Council Cataloguing Grant 2018, at: email: [log in to unmask] tel: 0300 0300 700 (ext. 953) Previous applicants are welcome to re-apply. Please note that the BAC will not normally award a grant to the same institution within three years. Please note that this grant is administrated separately from the BAC cataloguing grant for business archives related to the Arts.
