Scottish Society for Art History – Research Support Grants

This article was first published by the Scottish Society for Art History.

The Scottish Society for Art History promotes scholarship in the history of Scottish art and art located in Scotland. To facilitate this, the SSAH offers research support grants of up to £400 to assist with research costs such as fees for the provision and licensing of images, and travel and accommodation expenses.

Practice-based research is also eligible, though research should contribute to the understanding of art history and be connected to Scottish art, art located in Scotland, or existing research related to Scottish art history or art located in Scotland. There must also be a tangible and publicly-accessible research output such as an exhibition, display or journal article.

We do not fund attendance at conferences, hire or purchase of equipment, indexing costs or subsistence. Applicants must be working at a post-graduate level or above and should either be resident in Scotland, or doing research that necessitates travel to Scotland.

Recipients will be given a one-year free membership of the SSAH and will be asked to write a report for the SSAH newsletter, explaining how the grant was used.
