National Heritage Science Forum

Who we are

The National Heritage Science Forum (NHSF) is a membership organisation and registered charity committed to demonstrating the public benefit of heritage science, and increasing public engagement with and support for heritage science.

Our culture and values

We work to improve collaboration in heritage science by connecting communities of practice.

• We shape the future through strategic partnerships to build and share knowledge, data and skills across organisational boundaries.
• We connect people: researchers, conservators, curators, scientists from many disciplinary backgrounds, educators at all levels, and commercial operators.
• We co-create the strategy for heritage science in the UK and coordinate its delivery.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

The NHSF acknowledges and aims to lead our collective responsibility for the creation of equal opportunities for people from all backgrounds to participate in heritage science, to define the questions asked about heritage, to determine the heritage science research methods used to understand the past, and to inform current actions and shape future opportunities related to heritage science research.
