The Endangered Archives Programme administered by the British Library and supported by the Arcadia Fund seeks to preserve cultural heritage and make it available to as wide an audience as possible. The Programme fund digitisation projects to record the content of archives, which can include rare printed sources, manuscripts, visual materials, or audio recordings. The Programme aim to enhance local capabilities to manage and preserve archival collections into the future, and therefore all applications must involve at least one archival partner in the country where the material is based.
The Programme welcome applications for funding on an annual basis. The current deadline for preliminary applications is 11 November 2019. Application forms and guidelines can be found at eap.bl.uk.
