Description
The Pasold Research Fund offers a limited number of MA grants for students at UK universities undertaking dissertation research in textile history. Its remit includes dress, fashion and conservation, the economic, social and cultural history of textiles and clothing, and the history of textile technology. Applications must demonstrate a clear historical focus and explain how the proposed research relates to wider literature, the research techniques to be used, and its significance.
The grants help meet practical research costs, including travel, photocopying and reproduction of illustrations integral to the dissertation. The Fund assesses the originality, rigour and feasibility of the work, alongside its potential contribution to textile history. It encourages research with a lasting outcome, such as a publication, exhibition or web-based resource.
