Funder: Pasold Research Fund
Due Dates: February 15, 2027 (First annual deadline) | September 1, 2027 (Second annual deadline)
Funding Amounts: Normally up to £1,000 per grant
Summary: Supports essential illustrations in high-quality textile history publications, particularly research monographs, where the material is important to the analysis.
Key Information: Textile history must be central to the research, and applicants must explain the absence of funding from other sources.
The Pasold Research Fund’s Publication Grants subsidise essential illustrative material in high-quality research, particularly research monographs. The Fund supports all branches of textile history, including dress and fashion history and multidisciplinary approaches. The scheme focuses on obtaining illustrations that contribute directly to the analysis and quality of a publication, rather than subsidising publishers or general publication costs.
Support can also contribute to completing or part-financing commissioned work, or work published under the auspices of a university, museum, gallery or similar organisation. Applicants must explain why additional external funding is necessary and what role it will play. Conservation-related research leading to publications falls within the Fund’s wider remit.
