Funding Bodies
The organisers would like to express their appreciation to the following seven University of York bodies for financial support: the Centre for Modern Studies; the Department of English and Related Literature’s ‘Writers at York’ fund; the Distinguished Visitors Fund; External Relations; the F. R. Leavis Fund; the Vice-Chancellor’s Fund; the York Annual Fund. Out of the Archive has also benefited from sponsorship-in-kind from the Dean Court Hotel and from the award of an MHRA Conference Grant. Finally, a huge thank you to Culture Ireland for a substantial Quarterly Grant in support of the Beckett festival; we're proud to play a part in promoting Irish arts worldwide.
