c3.7

Since a choice between two sets of photographs was sure to guarantee a higher and more even quality to the publication than a single set, it was agreed to enlist the services of an expert photographer for photographing the seals and other material anew. The Finnish Ministry of Education made travel grants and a publication subsidy available in 1984-1986. During this same three-year period, the University of Helsinki, for the first time after a very long interval, had substantial research funds of its own, and the project was granted money to employ two photographers and one half-day research assistant as well as for purchasing equipment. The Chancellor of the University of Helsinki also helped with travel grants. The Research Council for the Humanities at the Academy of Finland, which had supported the Corpus project from its initiation until 1981 by allowing Dr Parpola to work on it while employed as its Research Fellow, took over the main financial responsibility for the project from the beginning of the year 1987.
