Grants totaling over £3.7m have been awarded since NMCT’s foundation towards projects with a total cost of over £7.3m, enabling the conservation of many thousands of nationally and internationally significant manuscripts and collections that would otherwise have been lost or remained inaccessible due to their fragility.

- Demotic Papyrus 9 (c513BCE). John Rylands Library;
- The Burges's designs for Cardiff Castle. Glamorgan Archives;
- William Laud's copy of the Book of Common Prayer (1632). Christ Church, Oxford;
