About the foundation
The Lloyd's Register Foundation is a UK-based charity with a global mission to enhance the safety of life and property at sea, on land, and in the air. Its heritage grant programme, however, focuses specifically on the history of safety and risk, inviting scholars, archivists, and curators to engage with the Foundation's extensive archives and collections. This open call supports projects that explore the historical dimensions of safety, risk, and regulation, often drawing on the Foundation's own records dating back to 1760. The programme encourages critical, evidence-based approaches that illuminate how societies have understood and managed danger over time.

Projects that offer public engagement outcomes, such as exhibitions, digital resources, or publications, are encouraged.
