The Economic History Society maintains a fund to encourage otherwise unfunded workshops, special meetings and other interesting initiatives in economic and social history. Activities which might encourage wider participation in the Society, innovative research proposals (especially by those who are not full time university academics), or work that would lead to publication in the leading journals of our discipline will be particularly eligible for support. The Society is especially keen to encourage one-day workshops which might provide sessions at the annual conference, or generate articles for the Review.
The Society will not make grants from the fund for more than £2,000 (£1,000 for a one-day workshop). Whatever the sum granted, there must be a specific prominent acknowledgement of the Society’s support in any publicity, meeting materials or publications. Any events held with support from the fund should be advertised on the Society’s website and, as far as is practicable, be open equally to all interested economic and social historians. Successful applicants will be encouraged to propose papers or sessions at the Society’s annual conference.
Questions concerning the objectives and criteria of the fund should be directed to the Honorary Secretary via the administrative secretary.
Closing dates for applications are on the first day of each of the following months: February, May, August and November. An application form is available online or from the administrative secretary.
It is expected that successful applicants will be, or will become, members of the Economic History Society.
