Purpose
Digital Project Grants are offered annually to institutions to help support a curator or research scholar undertaking a digital research project or research which will lead to a digital or online project.
The Grant is an award of up to £40,000.
Digital Project Grants are specifically designed to help institutions, galleries or museums towards the costs of supporting a curator or research scholar undertaking a digital research project or research which will lead to a digital or online project. These projects could take the form of:
- An online exhibition or curation of a digital project relating to British art or architectural history, or related topic
- An online catalogue or database of a collection or archive, or an online catalogue or database of a specific part of a collection or archive
- A research project using digital technologies, for example 3-D scanning or modelling, or which might make use of large datasets
Budget Requirements:
Up to 33% of the proposed project budget may be allotted to capital costs such as the digitisation of resources, or web development.
The award will be paid directly to the institution as a lump sum only.
The institution should give details of any financial support already in place or funding expected or being sought from other sources.
