About ARCH
Archaeology for Communities in the Highlands (ARCH) was set up in January 2009 to provide a range of exciting and innovative community archaeology projects. It will provide opportunities to encourage people with diverse interests and abilities in the Highlands to learn about, record and participate in celebrating and increasing knowledge of their local heritage. ARCH will do this in a number of ways including classroom learning, practical outdoor sessions, group project work, or via a virtual community.
ARCH is now a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisationn (SCIO) (No. SC040624) . The Board Members are:
Carolyn Samsin
ARCH works with archaeology and heritage associates with experience in all aspects of community archaeology, including adult learning, youth work with Young Archaeologists' Clubs, archival work, excavation and survey, museum skills, and community outreach.
