New site--UK National Heritage Science Strategy

The steering group for the National Heritage Science Strategy are
pleased to announce the launch of the strategy's website:

    <URL:http://www.heritagesciencestrategy.org.uk>

Over the next few months, work will be taking place to produce three
reports which will provide the evidence base for drawing up the
strategy.

    *   The first report will detail the current use of science in
        preserving and protecting cultural heritage (available April
        2009).

    *   The second will assess the use of science in enhancing our
        understanding of the past (available end of May 2009).

    *   The final report will address issues of sector skills and
        consider practitioner and institutional capacity to deliver
        improvements in the application of heritage science.
        (available July 2009).

Each of these reports will be available on our website, with a one
month consultation period to ensure that the views of the heritage
sector are fully represented and integrated in the final strategy.

If you have any questions about the strategy please have a look at
the website, or get in touch with the strategy coordinator:
