LAMAS Research Fund 2009-2010:
In 2005, to mark our 150th anniversary, LAMAS set up a Research Fund to award research funding to work on the history and archaeology of London and Middlesex. We usually aim to award between £2000 and £5000, the amount being set each year by Council.
The closing date for the award is 30th September each year.
Full details of the fund and how to apply can be found here.
Last year we were pleased to be able to fund two projects: the production of a DVD on the history of the Royal Patriotic Building, Wandsworth Common (Simon McNeill-Ritchie) and an article ‘The Steelyard and the age of steam – the collection of John Walker Baily (1809-73) and the former Hanseatic Kontor in London’ (Lyn Blackmore).
This year, 2009-2010, we are delighted to announce that £4420 has been awarded to Jane Corcoran, MoLA, for work on the Syon Park Palaeochannel. The work will include the augering and logging of core samples, preparing the samples for dating and the completion of an article presenting the results of the research.
