Dear Clare,
I have used both the following for geological collections:
1. The PRISM Fund (the Fund for the PReservation of Industrial and Scientific
Material) supports the acquisition and/or conservation of any object or group
of objects illustrating the history of any branch of science, industry or
technology. See:
http://www.mla.gov.uk/what/support/grants/PRISM
2. The Curry Fund exists to support a variety of causes:
- geological publications, including film, video and television productions
- geological conservation, including the purchase, clearance and recording of
sites
- other initiatives approved by the Council, including awards to individuals
and very limited assistance with travel costs for overseas visitors engaged in
geological research. See:
http://www.geologists.org.uk/awards.html
Also local 'Museum Friends' groups.
I look forward to seeing your lisst.
Best wishes, Nigel.
