The Allen Grove Local History Fund
The late Allen Grove left a legacy to the Kent Archaeological Society to establish this fund to be used for the purposes of research, preservation, and enjoyment of local history. The trustees will consider applications for grants for any project with one or more of these purposes. Projects may be practical ones such as presentation, publication, and education as well as research.
Grants may be made to societies and groups as well as to individuals and are not restricted to members of the Kent Archaeological Society. They are usually around £200 to £400 each, but the trustees would consider a larger grant for a particularly imaginative or innovative project which might not be able to proceed without the grant. Awards may not be announced until the summer of 2005.
Applications must be submitted, on the official application form, by the 31st March 2005. Application forms and further information may be obtained from the Hon Secretary: Mr A. I. Moffat.
Other Grants
The Society has other grant programmes. Applications for these will be considered at any time.
Fieldwork grants may be obtained from the Fieldwork Committee and applications should be sent to its Hon. Secretary:
David Bacchus.
The Society’s Kent Local History Fund makes grants to assist with serious research leading to publication. They are only made to societies affiliated to the KAS or the Kent History Federation and members of those societies or the KAS. Professional historians and postgraduate students are not eligible to apply. Application forms can be obtained from: Dr James Gibson.
