Criteria

Archives Revealed is the only grant programme in the United Kingdom (UK) dedicated to the unlocking of archival collections. The goal of Archives Revealed is to ensure that significant archive collections, representing the lives and perspective of all people across the UK, are made accessible to the public for research and enjoyment.

The Consortium Grant funding programme provides grants of up to £150,000 for groups of archive and heritage organisations to collaborate on projects for the cataloguing of archive collections and to encourage the UK public’s enjoyment and participation in archives, heritage and our shared history.

To encourage this participation, applicants are required to allocate at least 20% of their total grant value to public engagement activities. This would be £30,000 if applying for the maximum grant of £150,000.
