New RNS Research Fund for Asian Numismatics
The Society is thrilled to announce that Katherina and William Barrett have very generously committed to establishing a new fund which aims to enable curators and students based in Asia to visit the UK to study Asian coin and money collections – particularly those at the British Museum, the Ashmolean Museum and the Fitzwilliam Museum.
The Royal Numismatic Society offers various grants for scientific research.
Applications will also be considered for similar purposes within the field of Asian numismatics.
People wishing to apply should do so through the normal RNS twice-yearly application round by 28th February or 31st August each year, making use of the standard application form.
You will be asked for:
- a description of your intended project;
- a description of how you intend to spend the grant money;
- details of two referees, who must be academics of recognised standing;
- a curriculum vitae.
