Preservation of Industrial and Scientific Material

01/05/2015

The Arts Council England has announced that the Preservation of Industrial and Scientific Material (PRISM) fund is now open for applications.

Organisations can apply for grants of up to £20,000 towards the costs of acquisition and conservation of items or collections which are important in the history and development of science, technology, industry, and related fields. The fund is available to all accredited museums as well as other charitable or public bodies engaged in the preservation of eligible material. This includes specialist libraries, public repositories, and archives or libraries formally linked to local authorities or eligible bodies such as universities and religious organisations. A parallel fund for the purchase of objects relating to the arts, literature and history is administered by the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Applications can be made at any time.
