Details

The Endangered Material Knowledge Programme (EMKP) is now accepting applications for its 2026/2027 Documentation Grants. Managed by the British Museum, these grants aim to support the documentation of material knowledge systems that are at risk of disappearing. The deadline for applications is not specified in the source. The EMKP Documentation Grants are designed to preserve endangered material knowledge systems. These systems include the creation, use, repair, and re-purposing of material objects, spaces, architecture, performances, and environments. The grants support various documentation methods such as film, audio recordings, photographs, written notes, maps, 3D models, and drawings. Successful projects will contribute digital records to the EMKP’s open-access repository. The EMKP Documentation Grants provide crucial support for preserving cultural heritage and knowledge systems that are at risk of being lost. By enabling comprehensive documentation, these grants help ensure that valuable cultural practices and knowledge are recorded and accessible for future generations. What is the maximum funding available? Small Grants offer up to £20,000, while Large Grants offer up to £100,000. Who can apply for these grants? Individuals with a Host Institution providing financial and ethical oversight can apply. Are there geographic restrictions for projects? There are no restrictions on project locations, but priority is given to areas with limited research funding. What documentation methods are supported? Methods include film, audio recordings, photographs, written notes, maps, 3D models, and drawings. When is the application deadline? The deadline is not specified in the source. Interested applicants should carefully review the official EMKP guidelines and ensure their Host Institution is prepared to support the application. Begin the application process early to accommodate the finalization of necessary agreements. For more information, visit the EMKP Documentation Grants page.
