Vernacular Architecture Group Publication Grants

The Vernacular Architecture Group is providing funding for a publication grants scheme to support authors with the preparation of works on vernacular architecture for publication. The intended outcome should be a printed publication, including a paper for the VAG’s journal Vernacular Architecture, a publication by a regional VAG affiliated group, a book or a chapter in a book. The scheme is open to all researchers on vernacular architecture, including buildings historians, buildings archaeologists, field archaeologists, architectural historians, or other researchers (in the UK or beyond). There are no geographical limitations on the scope of submissions. Applications for support with the adaptation and reworking of unpublished material are particularly encouraged. This might include (but is not limited to) unpublished archaeological reports; parts of MA or PhD theses; reports produced following a successful research grant application (from the VAG or otherwise); or a draft article which requires assistance from a professional translator or editor to refine the language and grammar. The scheme can also assist with other publication tasks, such as the preparation of illustrations.
