Focus on Finds Workshop

Timespan, Helmsdale

This two day workshop will provide a chronological overview of heritage in the Highlands from earliest settlers to recent times, with the emphasis on typical finds through to the Medieval period, followed by a practical session on using the HER and other major sources of information on the web. For the second day, participants will be asked to bring an object or picture of a find from their collection dating up to the Medieval period if possible. We will research the object, create a short description which could be used for a label, photograph the object, and then submit an entry to the HER. No previous experience necessary. Although aimed at museum staff and volunteers, others interested in finds are also welcome.
Free, with tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided, though participants should bring their own packed lunch or use the cafe.

Places are limited and must be booked with Lorna Cruickshank ( lorna.cruickshank@highland.gov.uk or 01349 868206 )
