About Scotland’s Community Heritage Conversations:

The Scottish Council on Archives is delighted to be working with other heritage organisations to deliver Scotland’s Community Heritage Conversations (SCHC), an event series bringing together volunteers, community groups and heritage professionals. Launched in November 2020 as a digital re-imagining of Scotland’s Community Heritage Conference, it is growing rapidly in popularity and attracting more participants at each event.

The conversations are delivered through a partnership of Historic Environment Scotland, Archaeology Scotland, The Chartered Institute for Archaeologists, the Scottish Council on Archives, Scottish Community Heritage Alliance, Scottish Civic Trust, Scottish Community Tourism (SCOTO) and Heritage Network who together are coordinating a wide range of contributors from public bodies, third sector organisations and community groups.

SCA is delighted to share that on Thursday 26 November 2026 SCHC will be hosting another hybrid event! Scotland’s Community Heritage Conversations 2026: Sharing Our Strengths will be held in person at The Engine Shed in Stirling and online via Microsoft Teams.
