The RWHA is delighted to be providing funding for QEST Scholar Eleanor Smith, a Hampshire-based book conservator who is passionate about mastering the craft of book preservation.
Eleanor is one of 28 new craftspeople who were recently awarded QEST funding, and applications are now open for the Spring 2024 funding round.
This Scholarship will see Eleanor study a one-year MA in Conservation - Books and Library Materials, at West Dean College, expanding her skills and enabling her to work as a fully qualified conservator within a British heritage institution in the future.
This funding is in addition to the support and general funding that the Association gives to QEST.
