At their meeting on 1st December 2014 the Trustees awarded grants for the conservation of collections as varied as the archives of the South Wales Miners Federation, the Bankes Archive of Kingston Lacy and a rare Latin-Chinese dictionary.
During 2014 grants totalling nearly £170,000 have been awarded to institutions across the UK. Grants totalling nearly three-quarters of a million pounds have been awarded by NMCT since 2010.
The grants for projects in Wales have, since 2011, been awarded in collaboration with the Welsh Government through Museums and Archives Wales (CyMAL) and with the support of the Colwinston Trust. The NMCT's Welsh collaborations have resulted in grants to Welsh conservation projects totalling over £139,000 since 2011.
