The Endangered Material Knowledge Programme gives grants to support the documentation of material knowledge systems that are under threat and in danger of disappearing.

There are two types of grants: Documentation and Legacy Digitisation.

• Documentation grants - intended to document living material practices. They can be small, with a duration of 12 months and a maximum award of £20,000, or large, with a duration of 24 months and a maximum award of £100,000.

• The Legacy Digitisation grant - intended to digitise existing archives focusing on material practices that were or are still endangered. They support one year of work with a maximum award of £20,000, and they can be combined with a Documentation grant, provided that they are related.

Applications must be submitted through the grant management system, Flexigrant. Visit the website to learn more.
