Utlysning fra Endangered Material Knowledge Programme:
The Endangered Material Knowledge Programme (EMKP) gives grants to support the documentation and digitisation of material knowledge systems that are under threat, rapidly changing, and in danger of disappearing. The programme was established in 2018 with funding from Arcadia, a charitable foundation that works to protect nature, preserve cultural heritage, and promote open access to knowledge, and is hosted by the Department of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas at the British Museum.
The EMKP offers three different grant schemes: Small Documentation, Large Documentation, and Legacy Digitisation.
- Documentation grants provide funding to document living material knowledge systems and practices in danger of disappearing. Small Documentation Grants can be up to 12 months with a maximum award of £20,000. Large Documentation Grants can be up to 24 months with a maximum award of £100,000.
- The Legacy Digitisation Grant, used to digitise collections or materials relating to endangered material knowledge, can be up to 12 months with a maximum award of £20,000, and can be applied for separately or together with a documentation grant.
The deadline for all applications is 23:59 GMT on 19th January 2025.
