As a 'Friday' issue: has anyone seen the DVD of 'Monuments Men'? (great film, by the way) It has a sticker on it saying 'A Great gift for your HERO'. I'm assuming they don't mean Historic Environment Record Officer, but who knows? Who nose?

Some recollections from me :) I remember my very first HER Forum meeting as being quite scary. I'd been in my new post a day or two (it was certainly my first week!) and talk of OASIS and other projects had me scratching my head somewhat! Its hard to remember a time when I didn't know what all the lingo means. The meeting was a themed one on Archaeological Science so I felt especially out of my depth and assumed everyone recorded archaeological science data as a matter of course. I felt so behind! Turns out I was quite wrong about everyone recording archaeological science data! My first post to the HER Forum list was not long after that meeting and looking back on it I cringe slightly as it seems a bit of a basic question! I did get some replies on and off list so I can definitely attest to how helpful you can all be to the relatively new and inexperienced! I do find HER Forum e-mail list a different experience now that I do this job as opposed to my HER Officer days. I spend much more time working with the list than I did - a fact attested to by the number of posts I made to the list last year! What I enjoy most about the list is the wealth of knowledge you can tap into. You don't always get a response but when you do there are usually some useful information in there. It is an opportunity to see ideas/problems from different angles, something which is hard to do on your own. all the best Sarah Sarah MacLean Heritage Information Partnerships Supervisor English Heritage ________________________________ From: Issues related to Historic Environment Records [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of MacLean, Sarah Sent: 09 June 2014 09:45 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Happy Birthday HER Forum e-mail list! Dear all, This week marks the 15th birthday of the HER Forum e-mail list. The list was originally hosted by Mailbase and called SMR Forum. The first e-mail to the list was on the 11th June and detailed a memorandum of understanding between ADS and ALGAO. The welcome to the list wasn't posted until 14th June! Have a delve through the archives at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=herforum to find out more. The original purpose of the list was to work towards creating an SMR Manual. This of course eventually became Informing the Future of the Past. The list grew over time to encompass all HER related discussions. In November 2000 the e-mail list transferred over to Jiscmail where it has been hosted ever since. All the archives from the period when Mailbase hosted the list did transfer over so you are able to browse through e-mails from the very start of the list onwards. All those who were subscribers to the list by November 2000 had their sign up date reset so we can't tell which of you were the very first members back in June 1999! Of those that were transferred in November 2000, 43 are still on the HER Forum e-mail list. The list has steadily grown since 1999. We now have 391 subscribers (we hope to break the 400 barrier this year) and have hundreds of posts each year. Last year we had over 900 posts altogether and this e-mail is the 555th post this year! The list is very active and last year well over 100 different people posted to the list. The range of discussions and the amount of knowledge pooled from the membership of this list is quite astounding! Today and tomorrow I hope you will join in with reminiscing about the last 15 years of the list. When did you join? What have you enjoyed? Can you work out who has been on the list the longest? I hope many of you will post over the next week and join in in saying 'happy birthday HER Forum' all the best Sarah Sarah MacLean MA MIfA Heritage Information Partnerships Supervisor English Heritage Designations Department Engine House Firefly Avenue Swindon SN2 2EH E-mail: [log in to unmask] Telephone: 01793 414880 This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of English Heritage unless specifically stated.
