As my ears were burning I thought I'd say a little bit about HELPS, the
Historic Environment List for Projects and Societies. This is part of the
NMRs commitment to supporting groups and projects involved in recording
work. It aims to promote closer co-operation between special interest groups
involved in external thematic or geographical based survey/recording and the
NMR. It enables 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 is also
be a good way to promote work and report on progress.

The list will be hosting an e-conference titled Recording and Reaching Out
in November consisting of two sessions, Organising Survey and Recording
Projects and Encouraging Interest in Heritage.

Membership is free and open to all. The list went live on 8th April 2002,
and has over 100 subscribers. To join HELPS 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.

Dear Mr. Lee, Your email to Robin Phillips got cross mailed to me.  I am
currently completing my Master in Urban and Building Conservation thesis,
which is a history and analysis of inventories of post-1700 Irish
architecture.   One of the principle topics within my thesis is an
examination of the lack of knowledge, communication and co-operation that
exists between the different inventories organisations in Ireland and
therefore I would be very interested to find out more about HELPS, as a
similar remedy could be adopted in Ireland.  Do you think that it would be
possible for you to also put me in touch with Martin Newman.  Yours
sincerely, Emmeline Henderson (Address: "Tenerife", Glenalua Road, Killiney,
Co. Dublin, Rep. of Ireland. Tel/fax: 00 353 (0)1 2350580)
