COULD THE FROCESTER FUND HELP YOU TO PUBLISH YOUR RESEARCH?
The main object of the Fund, established by a generous gift to Gloucestershire Archaeology (formerly GADARG), from our past President Eddie Price, was to help archaeologists pay for the publication of archaeological reports relating to Gloucestershire.
At the discretion of the Gloucestershire Archaeology Executive Committee money from the Fund may be used to meet the costs of specialist reports (e.g. pottery, radiocarbon dating etc.). These might be necessary elements of the publication of excavation projects (either as standalone documents or in “Glevensis”) and/or other expenses incurred by excavation projects.
Only one allocation of up to £1,000 can be made in any one year, the year to run from 1 October to 30 September.
