Current developments
At the time of writing we are half-way though the
anniversary year, which ends formally in April 2023.
Already we have behind us:
• Our hugely successful – and, being hybrid/blended, both
accessible and complex - annual conference, the IHBC’s
2022 Aberdeen School, which secured c.250 delegates
across in-person and digital options
• Anniversary links to our range of Awards and linked
funding, including our Gus Astley Student Awards and
the IHBC Marsh Awards
• Our annual ‘Yearbpok’ themed on the Aberdeen School
and tagged for the anniversary with logos and features
• Various Branch ‘revival’ events with anniversary links,
including for some Branches their first Branch AGMs in
some years, as well as anniversary-themed talks and
presentations
• Two issues of our member journal, Context, with
IHBC25 branding and notices, and including an issue
on ‘Regulations and Codes’ and one on ‘Diversity and
Inclusion’
• The issue will incorporate a photo-shot on at the venue
where the IHBC was launched in 1997, London’s St
Pancras Station
• Dedicates news messages, at
• Revival of a long-delayed internal archiving plan
• Consultation on the update of our core guidance, the
Conservation Professional Practice Principles, as an
#IHBC25 project
• Linked to that, a pilot digital archiving programme of
members’ architectural and historic photographs
• Ongoing notices and links to linked events in our CPD
Circular
• .. and more, including the appointment of a new parttime Education lead, Angharad Hart, one of whose roles
is a standing duty to ‘Promote #IHBC25’!
• Regular postings in the weekly ‘News and Tender Alert’
that we issue to members of our professional services network ‘HESPR’
Conclusions
With all this in hand, I think we are advancing a
programme that will both mark and build on the 25th
anniversary of our incorporation, and continue what we
planned as ‘A year dedicated to learning from our
heritage; building on our legacy and documenting our
history’.
• Pre-School events for our next School, in Swansea in
2023, funded through the #IHBC25 programme
We have coming:
• An anniversary issue of Context
