Description
Raine Grants are run by the Pasold Research Fund to assist individual staff working in UK museums and other public collections or institutions, including curators and conservators. They support object-based research into textile history, placing collection objects at the centre of historical enquiry. Textile history must be the central concern of the research, rather than a peripheral subject.
The Fund encourages high-quality research with a lasting outcome, such as a publication, exhibition or web-based resource. Conservation-related research leading to publications and preliminary work for a larger grant application may also be supported. The wider research remit includes all branches of textile history, including dress and fashion, and multidisciplinary approaches.
