> The National Monuments Record (NMR) are about to launch a new email
> discussion list titled HELPS, the Historic Environment List for Projects
> and Societies, which will be hosted by JISCmail, the National Academic
> Mailing List Service.
>
> The NMR is committed to supporting the work of groups/societies and
> projects. As part of this we am keen to promote closer co-operation
> between special interest groups  and the NMR. This is why we have decided
> to set up a new email discussion list for those involved in external
> thematically-based survey/recording. This will enable those involved to
> share experiences, ask questions of each other and be informed about
> recent relevant developments in areas such as publication, data standards,
> technology and recording practice. It would also be a good way of
> promoting your work and reporting on progress. It is also hoped to a day
> conference for list members latter in the year.
>
> Membership is free and open to all. The service will operate in a similar
> way to existing lists such as SMR Forum, FISH and Britarch.
>
> The list will go live on 8th April 2002, but you can join now. From the
> launch date you will start receiving messages and be able to send postings
> to, the list. To join send an email to [log in to unmask] containing
> only the text join 'HELPS firstname lastname' if your email has an
> automatic footer or signature you will need to enter two minus signs on
> the next line.
