The Pasold Research Fund’s Publication Grants subsidise essential illustrative material in high-quality research, with particular priority given to research monographs. The Fund supports textile history, including its economic, social and cultural dimensions, technological development, design and conservation, and the history of dress and fashion. The scheme focuses on illustrations that underpin a publication’s analysis rather than publication costs in general.
Applicants must explain the nature and content of the monograph or other research output and demonstrate why the illustrations matter to its argument. Support can also help complete or part-finance commissioned work, including publications produced under the auspices of a university, museum, gallery or similar organisation, where the need for additional external funding is clearly justified.
