An electronic copy of the full description of the project should also be emailed to nmct@nationalarchives.gov.uk or supplied on disk by post. Please submit applications as Microsoft Word files.
Please note:
- The closing dates are dates by which applications must be received by the Trust
- Processing of applications takes time and applications received after the closing dates cannot be considered until the next round of applications. Applicants are therefore advised to submit applications as early as possible.
- In order to ensure funds are available throughout the year it may be necessary to defer applications to the next round even though they were submitted before the closing dates
- Grants are not intended to be of a continuing nature, and further grants are not normally made for the same project. New projects from the same institution are eligible for consideration although previous grants are taken into account.
Applicants may find it useful to refer to the National Preservation Office's publication on preparing funding applications for preservation and conservation projects
(34kb). Copies are also available free from the administrator.
