Funders

Thanks to our funders and supporters

The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) funds postgraduate training and research in the arts and humanities, from archaeology and English literature to design and dance.  The quality and range of research supported not only provides social and cultural benefits but also contributes to the economic success of the UK.  For further information on the AHRC, please see their website www.ahrc.ac.uk

The British Academy (www.britac.ac.uk) funded the pilot study for Beyond the Book and continues to support Drs Fuller and Rehberg Sedo via an International Joint Activities Grant.

Beyond the Book has a physical office within the Department of American & Canadian Studies at the University of Birmingham, UK (www.uscanada.bham.ac.uk) where the majority of the team are based.  

Our Northern American site is located at Mount Saint Vincent University, Canada (www.msvu.ca), which has provided project support in terms of graduate assistance (2005) and travel funds through an internal research grant. The Canadian Foundation for Innovation (www.innovation.ca) provided funding for the Atlantic Canada Communication Issues Research Lab, which houses the technical equipment and research space used on the North American side of the Atlantic.
