We’re passionate about embedding digital preservation good practice in the heritage sector, and we actively seek collaborations with partners who share our aims and values.
If you have a vision for a project involving digital preservation, we’d like to help you make it happen. We can advise on funding sources and help you articulate what you need, connecting you with mutually beneficial partners.
Our team has a track record of successful bids and partnerships with organisations such as the Society of Antiquaries of London, the Mass Observation Archive, and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
Grant writing expertise
We can provide digital preservation advice at any stage of your bid and if required, work in partnership to deliver the objectives.
For example, we can:
- identify potential sources of funding if you don’t have a specific grant in mind
- work with you to identify and define the digital preservation aspects of your bid
- contribute to the bid writing process with a compelling case for funding
- advise on costings and time frames
- identify training needs for the project’s longer-term continuity
- connect with other partners for any elements that are outside our brief
We can also support you with advocacy within your organisation, helping you to build a robust case for internal resourcing.
