of artefacts and documents; the provision on information through publication
and online; and many more.
Grants are given for the
following purposes:
- for
research into and promotion of the history of Huntingdonshire and
associated publication, including individual study and educational
projects concerned with local history;
- for
preserving the heritage, including museum and archives special
acquisitions and for
projects concerned with conserving, cataloguing,
displaying and interpreting them;
- for any other
