This fund is now closed, take a look at our current funding opportunities.
The Covid-19 Archives Fund provides support for short-notice work to secure vulnerable analogue and born-digital records across the United Kingdom. The fund is open to the benefit of archives at risk that might otherwise be dispersed or lost without intervention. It particularly focuses on records not protected by legislation (such as charity and private records), acknowledging that archive services may struggle to respond to collections at immediate risk due to limited resources. The deadline for applications to the Covid-19 Archives Fund is 15 January 2021 as the funding must be distributed by 31 March 2021.
