The IHBC has posted online the planned future themes for our membership journal Context, so members can plan their own CPD, offer us content, and suggest future themes – and we now also offer free boxes of Contexts (c.60 per box) for distribution at relevant events or by key user groups, so let us know if you have any suggestions for links to users, events or themes, by contacting Carla at support@ihbc.org.uk.
IHBC Director Seán O’Reilly said: ‘Do let us know of any content that you might like to see or offer for your CPD needs, especially on topics we know we need, such as architectural design in heritage contexts and settings.’
‘Also, we are now offering boxes of c.60 copies and more for free, for distribution at relevant events or by key user and stakeholder groups. This ensures that the hard work of our Editorial Board – and the big investment in production overseen by our trustees – reaches as many prospective beneficiary groups as possible.
‘So if you think you can help us by distributing a box or two of a Context themed issue for free, we’ll see what we can do to help: just let Carla know the details at support@ihbc.org.uk’
‘And if you have any suggestions for Context articles or other material contact Mike Taylor at: editorial@ihbc.org.uk’.
Themes for 2019 include:
- Highlands & Islands
- Technical – Building Services
- Second World War
- Annual School
- New Towns
