If you have recently retired or are about to retire from a UK museum and would like the chance to share your collections-related expertise with your successor and the wider museum community, we want to hear from you. The Fellowships will not support new research but aim to record and share existing knowledge that might otherwise be lost. Fellows will be paid expenses of £100 a day and Fellowships will be either 50 or 100 days in length, typically spread over 6 months or 12 months. All applications will require the support of a host museum, which should be the Fellow's former place of work. We particularly welcome applications that also have the support of an organisation from the wider museum community, such as a regional museum hub or subject specialist network. For more information, please click here The Trevor Walden Trust '...to advance the education and training of museum and gallery personnel...' Each year, the trustees announce the amount that is available to individual members undertaking activities to support continuing professional development leading to the Associateship of the Museums Association (AMA). Preference is given to those paying their own expenses rather than to those subsidised by an employer. Last year grants were awarded for formal education courses, travel and accommodation costs for visits to specific collections and curators, and to buy study materials, but other activities can also be supported.
