Supporting archival research

One of our key roles is to promote archival research in Australia. We encourage scholars to study our collection and publish their findings.

Postgraduate scholarships

The National Archives and the Australian Historical Association provide postgraduate scholarships to help cover the cost of digitising records in our collection.

Community Heritage Grants

The Community Heritage Grants program helps community organisations preserve nationally significant collections of materials.

Collaborative research

Through the Australian Research Council grants scheme, we collaborate with universities and other cultural institutions.

Measures to protect the health and safety of our visitors, clients and staff during the COVID-19 pandemic are affecting our ability to support all of the partnership proposals we have received. We will review all proposals received and respond as soon as possible.
