AIM Conservation Grant Scheme

The AIM Conservation Grant Scheme, supported generously by The Pilgrim Trust, is intended to assist AIM’s smaller members with conservation of important objects in their collections.

Accessioned objects in any media are eligible. Whilst we expect museums to have a conservation plan, the object does not have to be the most at risk in the collection. The reason for choosing the object must be made clear in your application. For example, the object may be planned for use in a temporary exhibition. Conservation work should be carried out by a conservator chosen from the ICON register (www.conservationregister.com), unless there are exceptional circumstances where this is not possible.

Closing dates for the scheme are 31 March and 30 September in each year until at least 2013. The application form can be downloaded at the bottom of this page. For further information contact Justeen Stone, AIM Administrator at aimadmin@aim-museums.co.uk or telephone 01903 201370. Completed Grant forms should be returned to the AIM Administrator, 63 Wiston Avenue, Worthing, West Sussex. BN14 7PX
