Now that the details of the Cromarty Homes and Heritage Programme have been announced (see their website), one event of particular interest to History Society members will be the following workshop. Please note: there is no charge for this event - it's FREE.

Tuesday 23rd April from 10.00 am till 12.30 at the Old Brewery: Researching your community online

The Highland Council's Historic Environment Record (HER) Officer will be leading this session to teach participants about using and contributing to the Highlands' very own database of historical and archaeological sites and buildings.  This amazing and easily accessible resource contains invaluable data and images from historical documents, archaeological excavations, surveys, artefacts and much more.  Wireless internet access is available and participants are invited to bring their own laptops or otherwise (iPad, etc) to learn hands-on during the workshop (although this is by no means a requirement).  Following on from this, a member of Ross & Cromarty Archaeological Services will show participants some easy-to-use online resources to assist in all types of internet-based historical research. Tea, coffee and biscuits provided.
