Description
The Hoare’s Bank Research Grant is offered through the Economic History Society with funding from private bankers C. Hoare & Co. It supports projects using the Bank’s archives to investigate the economic and social history of finance, wealth, investment, and consumption in Britain between 1860 and 1938.
The grant funds direct research costs for work aimed at a specific publication outcome and/or pilot projects that lay the foundation for larger funding applications to other bodies. Funded research also contributes to understanding the archives and their potential for further investigation, through a report for the Bank, public dissemination, and an outline of opportunities for future projects or collaborations.
