About the Archive Testbed Fund
The archives sector employs a wide range of skilled and experienced people who have the capacity and talent to formulate new and innovative ideas for projects, systems, processes, and methods that, if developed, could have a transformative impact on the work of archives.
The Archive Testbed funding scheme provides grants of up to £5,000 (and £10,000 in the current sustainability-themed round) for archives who would like to test, explore, or evolve a new idea that has the potential to lead to positive change or improvement to the way we keep, preserve, promote and enable access to archives. The purpose of the fund is to encourage services to trial new approaches, provide them with room to experiment and enable the results and learning outcomes of our support to be shared with the wider archive sector.
