What heritage work can include

Heritage activity can include working with collections, supporting community interpretation, helping people understand local history and contributing to the preservation of material or places connected with Brightmere.

Community participation

Where the council runs or supports a heritage activity, the public information explains how residents can take part and identifies the organisation responsible.

Use the museums pages for collections and the archives pages for council-held historic records and research.

How the council supports heritage

Heritage work can include preserving local material, supporting interpretation and helping communities engage with the history of their area. The council should distinguish between heritage it directly manages and heritage owned or managed by another institution.

Where another body is responsible for a collection, site or designation, Brightmere Council can signpost to that organisation rather than reproducing its role.
