How to Get Involved

There are many ways to get involved in our work. We are open and inclusive. We encourage diverse perspectives on our work. The strength of our work relies on members and professionals volunteering their time. We benefit from your knowledge, experience, and skills.

Formal opportunities - in particular for specific officer roles and trusteeships - will be advertised through member communications and on the Opportunities page on this site as they arise. However if you have an idea or area of our work you would like to get involved with, please get in touch. Email us: info@sahgb.org.uk.

How We Work

Our operations are delivered by a Management Team led by the Secretary and supported by 4 standing committees:

• Finance, Membership and Management

• Learning, Education and Research

• Digital Content and Communications

• Journal and Awards Management 

Co-option onto these committees and their sub-committees is at the discretion of the Secretary and Committee chairs. We welcome members, professionals and students with relevant experience in these areas. 

EDI & ECR Networks

The SAHGB currently hosts five active thematic networks through which various means of gathering, voicing, exchange and collaboration can be formed to advocate particular knowledge, positions and causes.

Our EDI and ECR networks include: the Early Career Researchers (ECR) Network; the Women Architectural Historians’ Network; the Disability Network; the LGBTQIA+ Network; and the Race and Ethnicity Network.

Being a member of a thematic network means that you will:

• Receive regular updates, news and information relevant to the network

• Be invited to participate in events and activities organised in the network

• Have opportunities to contribute to knowledge exchange and partake in collaborative projects

• Meet architectural historians and heritage professionals with similar interests
