Description
This annual bursary is awarded by the Trustees of the French Huguenot Church of London Charitable Trust, on the advice of the Institute of Historical Research (IHR). It supports historians researching any aspect of the history of French, Dutch, Flemish or Walloon Protestants, from the 16th century to the present, in any geographical area.
The bursary is intended to enable a period of archival research leading to a publication or completion of a doctoral thesis. Applicants must demonstrate a clear path from the proposed research to those outputs. Alongside support for research expenses, recipients have opportunities to share their work through the IHR and meet the Trustees and those of the Huguenot Society.
