Setting the Pace new grants now open
MLA has opened a grants programme, open to applications from museums, libraries and archives across England.
The People’s Record Phase 2 has grants available as part of Setting the Pace – the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council’s (MLA) programme for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The People’s Record has grants of £1,000 and £4,000 to support partnership projects exploring the following themes:
- Health, Sport & Wellbeing
- Changing Places
- Young People’s Aspirations
These cross cutting themes enable museums, libraries and archives to make new partnerships. We are seeking projects demonstrating a diversity of opinion and experience. The People’s Record will be a national community archive of people’s responses to hosting the Games. MLA funding will support a network of schemes, built on partnerships between museums, libraries and archives and community groups. MLA is particularly keen to encourage projects which develop participation by disabled persons or increase disability representation.
Projects will discover, create and celebrate community records: documents, photographs, film, sound, oral history and artwork. Projects will ensure that these records are archivable in the long term. MLA will provide training and guidance and is developing the online platform to promote access to project records. The grant aided projects will take place between September 2009 and March 2010.
