Programme overview
Archives Revealed Cataloguing Grants are grants of up to £45,000 for archives to create catalogues of archival collections.
The grant will fund projects lasting up to two years.
The grant programme runs once per year, usually opening in the first quarter of the calendar year (January-March). It is a two-phase application process, with a preliminary expression of interest phase, followed by a full application in Phase 2.
The programme is usually highly competitive, with less than 20% of applications receiving funding: we usually offer funding to eight or nine applicants, and typically receive between 50 and 100 applications.
The grant programme will reopen in early 2024, with a pre-launch webinar to be held in advance of the reopening date. Further details will be made available closer to the time.
