# Research and Innovation Grants

To support our leadership role for the archive sector in England and Wales, and
to deliver the Government’s new vision for archives, The National Archives
provides grants for skills, innovation and engagement in the archives sector.

Research and Innovation Grants create opportunities for research, innovation and
transformative projects in the archive sector. We offer grants of up to £10,000
focused on addressing digital transformation, environmental sustainability and
inclusive practice in the archive sector.
