The range and variety of manuscripts that the NMCT's grants have helped conserve is enormous: in recent years they have included medieval manuscripts, industrial plans (from ships to ironworks), architectural plans, court rolls, pedigrees and musical manuscripts. The case studies in this section of the website give you more information about some of the NMCT funded projects; you can also find a list of recent grants in the Past Grants section.
