Funding, News and Announcements

In recognition of the historical events to be commemorated in 2017, the Nova Scotia Museum is pleased to announce a commemoration grant program. 

Two grants of $5000 will be awarded to projects that increase our understanding of historical events to be commemorated in 2017, and contribute to our public interpretation and exhibits about these events. 

To be eligible, research projects must be Nova Scotia Museum collections-based and/or increase our knowledge of Nova Scotia’s roll in the event to be commemorated in 2017. 

Applications

The applicant will submit four copies of the grant application no later than 5 pm, Thursday, March 31 , 2016 via email (PDF only) museumgrants@novascotia.ca by mail or in person at:

Proposed projects can be in any NSM Curatorial discipline area (archaeology, botany, cultural history, ethnology, industrial history, marine history, geology/palaeontology or zoology), but must clearly demonstrate their link to a 2017 commemorative event.
