The bursary can also support access to online\/digitised material. This may include, for example, digitisation\/copying costs of material provided to individual researchers or individual subscriptions to online archival databases (where there is no access through the applicant\u2019s institution).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applications should be made on the attached form and submitted to the Society\u2019s Secretary at&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:karenatthenook@btinternet.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">karenatthenook@btinternet.com<\/a>. The key requirements for bursary successful applicants are shown at the end of the form. They include presenting final receipts and submitting a report for publication in the Society\u2019s Newsletter. Full payment will not be made until those requirements have been met. The report may have to be revised if not considered sufficiently detailed before any funds can be released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The distinguished writer Ronald Blythe CBE (1922-2023) was the John Clare Society\u2019s founding President from 1982 and served for some thirty-five years.
