"RECORDING SCOTLAND'S PLACES, PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE"
Mrs. Diana Murray,
Chief Executive, Royal Commission on the Ancient and
Historical Monuments of Scotland.
The talk will cover the work of RCAHMS over the past 100 years using examples drawn from the Scottish Borders. It will show how our knowledge has developed through research and how the work develops and adapts to meet new challenges, as well as a taste of where we are heading in future.
Mrs Murray has an MA in Archaeology and Anthropology from Cambridge University and has been employed by RCAHMS since 1976. She was elected as a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland in 1977 and of the Society of Antiquaries of London in 1986. She was elected Chair of the Institute of Field Archaeologists, the professional body for archaeological practice in Britain from 1995-6 and set up the Register of Archaeological Organisations which helps to set and maintain standards for the profession. She has lectured and published extensively on information systems for archives and the importance of public access to such data.
