Grants
For Archaeology & History - up to £2000
Twice each year the Society offers a number of grants to support research and to improve public access to the history & archaeology of the historic county of Somerset.
Deadlines for applications are 28 February and 31 August each year.
The Society has funds from several gifts and endowments, such as Maltwood, Gray and Desmond Williams, as well as from its own resources, to support a wide range of projects in the archaeology, history and vernacular buildings. Projects must relate to the historic county of Somerset, with some extensions for the Williams fund.
Eligible proposals include research work, publication, as well as the promotion of training and other opportunities that will encourage the engagement of and co-operation between amateurs, professionals and young people. Grants may be offered to individuals as well as organisations.
The Maltwood Fund is dedicated to support high quality research in archaeology and history.
The Gray Fund is dedicated to promoting activities that encourage public understanding, interest and participation
The Desmond Williams Fund is for the publication of research into the vernacular buildings of Somerset.
However do not hesitate to contact us with other proposals as the Society is able to draw upon its own funds as well.
Archaeology
and history applications will be assessed by a Grants Committee and those
for the publication of vernacular building research by the Historic Buildings
Committee.
