Archives Revealed – Scoping Grants 2022 Deadlines Announced

Archives Revealed is a partnership programme between The National Archives, The Pilgrim Trust and the Wolfson Foundation, dedicated to enabling more people to engage with the UK’s documentary heritage.

Scoping Grants are open to registered charities, public sector bodies and other not-for-profit organisations across the UK.

Grants of up to £3,000 are available, supporting activities for one or more of the following priorities:

• A collection that has the potential to be of public benefit.
• Ensuring free public access to the collection in the future; either directly or via collaboration with another organisation.
• Supporting applicants who are unsure of the most effective way to target resources to realise the potential impact of the collection.
• Developing a plan to move towards a cataloguing project or to scope the potential of the collection for a cataloguing project.

Projects should enable grantees to:

• Develop a better understanding of the content of their collection.
• Strategically prioritise the development of their collection.
• Advocate for the development of their service.
• Prepare an effective case for support when applying for funding.

The next deadline is 28 February 2022.
