Heritage Volunteers

NADFAS Heritage Volunteers are members of NADFAS who give their time to help preserve our heritage.

Some examples of what Heritage Volunteers do:

• in-situ conservation of books and manuscripts
• documentation of objects including listing and transcribing
• preventative conservation of textiles. Replica work, creation of period costumes and methods of storage
• stewarding - in museums, historic houses or gardens

Young arts

Since NADFAS is a registered charity, it is part of our remit to provide some service to the community.  In Blackheath, this takes the form of supporting NADFAS Young Arts. We have established a connection with a local school, and provide financial support for various art projects. This year we are paying for 6 lectures on topics staff have selected as fitting in with what the children are studying. They include: the Moon and Sun, What is Sculpture? and World War II.
