ARCH - Archaeology for Communities in the Highlands

Archaeology for Communities in the Highlands (ARCH) provides exciting and innovative projects to encourage people with diverse interests and abilities in the Highlands to learn about, record and participate in celebrating and increasing knowledge of their local heritage. ARCH will do this in a number of ways including classroom learning, practical outdoor sessions, group project work, or via a virtual community on this website. We always look at the gaps in provision and try to provide opportunities in these areas. We hope to inspire and enthuse all we come in contact with, so that everyone will take ownership and pride in their local heritage.

Explore this website to find:

• a listing of events run by ARCH and other groups throughout the Highlands. If you would like to publicise your events, please contact us!
• a growing list of resources and links for anyone interested in finding out about their heritage.
• information about, and, when finished, the publication of ARCH projects.
• a forum for asking questions and discussing issues relating to our heritage. Have you come across something unusual in the field or archives? Post it here and see what people think!
• a blog recording events during some of ARCH's projects

and much more!

We want this website to be interesting, stimulating, and useful for anyone interested in their heritage, from the distant past to yesterday! Contact us if you have suggestions, corrections, ideas or information to add.
