"
to provide awards with a long-term benefit
for the conservation of social history artefacts and evidence in small
museums." The Trust was founded in 1994 from part of the residue of the estate of the late Kathy Callow. Kathy Callow, Curator of the Priest's House Museum, Wimbourne, was an active and long-standing member of the Museums Association. The trust makes awards to small museums for the purposes of assisting with the costs of conservation projects. Such projects might include an exhibition, improving stored collections or running workshops for people connected with museums. Conditions
governing grants from the fund: ·
Aid is
restricted to
smaller galleries or museums with an annual gross revenue expenditure
of less
than £600,000. ·
The total sum
available each year is approximately £300. ·
The sum awarded
will
be influenced by the long-term value of the project and the degree of
preparatory thought which has been put into determining the content of
the work
and its costs. ·
The Trustees
particularly welcome applications on the following aspects of social
history
conservation: the disadvantaged in society, women, the sea,
industrialisation, small
localities. ·
Applicants
should
make clear whether the full cost or part is being sought as a grant. Any other funding bodies
who have been or
will be approached should be mentioned. ·
A written
progress
report on the work assisted by the grant must be made to the trustees
by 30
October of the year following the award or as soon as the project is
finished,
whichever is the earlier. Send the
