Collectively member services provide a range of outreach and community activities to increase understanding of the historic environment and to encourage a wide range of involvement in its management, conservation, investigation and promotion. Increased online access to historic environment information is a key element of this but the range of activities includes lectures, conferences, exhibitions, open days, education resources and community projects.
