The Society pursues its mandate through four complementary kinds of work.
Raising Awareness
Through seminars, lectures, exhibitions and publications, we bring the findings of historical and cultural research to students, scholars and the wider public.
Documenting Good Practice
We identify, verify and record scholarship, sources and traditions worth preserving for future researchers.
Advisory & Support
We support institutions, researchers and agencies with guidance drawn from a century of research experience.
Measuring Impact
We study the reach and effect of our programmes so that our work continues to serve scholarship and society.
