The Printing Historical Society awards a number of grant to support research on topics relating to the history of printing, and publishable reports on archives relating to the history of printing. The grants support historical research in printing technology, the printing and related industries, printed materials and artefacts, type and typefounding, print culture, and printing processes and design. The maximum award for research funding is £1,000, and that for publishable reports on archives is £500. In both cases grants may be used to cover material or other expenses, including travel, accommodation, photography, etc.
Applications should be submitted to the Chairman of the PHS Grants and Prizes Sub-Committee, Giles Mandelbrote, at giles.mandelbrote@churchofengland.org before the deadline of 1 April 2014. Awards will be announced at the PHS AGM in late May 2014, for disbursal the following month.
