Territorians are invited to apply for history grants for projects delivered next year.
Northern Territory Archives Service Acting Director Darlene Lion said Territory residents, societies and community organisations can apply for up to $7000, with a total funding pool of $60,000.
“The Northern Territory History Grants support and encourage research into Northern Territory history,” Ms Lion said.

“The Territory has a rich and vibrant culture and I urge anyone embarking on a Northern Territory history project within the next 12 months to apply for a 2016 History Grant,” Ms Lion said.
