Opening Access to the Heritage & Education Centre
The Lloyd’s Register Foundation has just launched a new call for applications regarding use of the Heritage & Education’s library and archived material. Would it be possible to circulate the below information? The call is a fantastic research opportunity!
More details can be found on the website.
Applicants need to apply using the specially created application form in the document.
Essentially we are looking to fund between 3-6 small scale research projects over 3-6 months using HEC’s collections (between £5,000 – £10,000).
We do not fund individuals but are looking for museums, archives, libraries and Universities to apply with associated collections to put ours in a wider context.
The funding will pay for travel, and other costs but not salaries.
The research projects have to fit in with the research priorities from the research plan:
- Development of ship and yacht building since the 1800s
- Impact of maritime sector on world trade and trade routes
- Safety at sea
- Depiction of maritime technology in art
Applications are due in by 19 February 2018, and will go through a peer review process, before the final ones going to the Grants Application Meeting (GAM). Successful applicants will be notified by email in March 2018. If you do not receive an email from us by this time, then please consider your application has been unsuccessful on this occasion.
We anticipate that the disbursement of grants will commence towards the end of April 2018, we will provide further information to the successful applicants.
