Canterbury Historical and Archaeological Society Grants

The Society has limited funds available to award a grant to individuals researching any aspect of the history and archaeology of Canterbury and its surrounds. It is envisaged that a grant would not normally exceed £500.

Preference would be given to work resulting in publication in any media. Please apply in writing to the Hon. Sec. of the Grants Committee as soon as possible, and not later than 30 June 2012.

Your letter should mention:

• Your qualifications

• The nature and length of your research

• The stage you have reached in your research

• The amount you are applying for

• Any additional funding anticipated from other sources

• Your proposals for publication

• Your anticipated timetable

You may be asked to name a referee whom the Grants Committee may consult. If successful, you would be expected to account for the money spent and give a copy of any article, pamphlet etc to the Society’s library. A summary of your research might be published on the Society’s website.

For further details, please contact Mrs C M Short, 3 Little Meadow Upper Harbledown, Canterbury CT2 9ED.
