The Printing Historical Society is pleased to continue its limited number of small grants for the fifth year, including:
* Research on topics relating to the history of printing
* Publishable reports on archives relating to the history of printing
Grants are limited to historical research in: printing technology, the printing and related industries, printed materials and artefacts, type and typefounding, print culture, and printing processes and design.
Applications for research funding may be up to 1,000; applications for publishable reports on archives, up to 500. In both cases grants may be used to cover material or other expenses, including travel, subsistence, photography, etc. Applications should specify the amount requested and offer a budget for the use of funds envisaged; costs incurred before application are unlikely to be successful, as are projects that are deemed to be primarily bibliographical. Students, academics and independent researchers may apply. Some preference will be given to independent researchers.
The application should consist of: 1) a one-page covering letter, containing a brief curriculum vitae, and the name, address and email of one referee (who has agreed to serve as referee), and 2) a 1- or 2-page description of the project and budget. The project description should state its purpose clearly, and succinctly. Please state whether your project is part of a larger one, and whether you are applying elsewhere for funding. Note that your compliance with the length instructions will form part of our evaluation of the application, so be certain not to go beyond the 3 pages of hard copy.
Post your application to the PHS Grants & Prizes Sub-Committee, Peggy Smith, 18 Market Hill, Clare, Sudbury CO10 8NN, UK; email can be used for questions, but not for submitting the application: m.m.smith@reading.ac.uk.
Application deadline: 1 January 2009. Awards will be announced at the PHS AGM in March, for disbursal in April.
