Historians Offer Grants

The Historical Society of the Episcopal Church invites applications from individual scholars and academic and ecclesiastical groups for grants that will be announced in July.

The grants support significant research, conferences, and publications relating to the history of the Church of England, the worldwide Anglican Communion, and Anglican and Episcopal churches in North America. Applications must be submitted by May 1.

Winners are expected to submit work for publication in HSEC’s magazine, Anglican and Episcopal History.

Grants are usually modest, generally $1,000 to $2,000. Typical grants include travel to archives, collections or resources, dissertation research, and seed money for larger projects. Past grants have been awarded to support documentary films, dissertation research, publication of books and articles, historical events, and many other purposes.

For complete details including application information, visit hsec.us/grants.

Founded in Philadelphia in 1910 as the Church Historical Society, the Historical Society of the Episcopal Church welcomes scholars, writers, teachers, ministers (lay and ordained), students, and anyone with an interest in the objectives and activities of the society.
