Extending the Survey

Thanks to everyone who has completed our survey. It has been fascinating and informative to see the responses that have come in so far, and it's hard to resist the urge to find out more about each and every group we've heard about! From Young Archaeologists' Clubs to diving groups, it's clear that there are thousands of people across the country who are dedicated to exploring and researching our rich heritage.
We've also been busy compiling a literature review of projects receiving funding from the HLF, and are now planning our in-depth case studies. If you've completed the survey and are located within one of our case study areas, you may well be hearing from us soon.
So far, we've had over 400 complete responses, with many more in progress. Because we are still receiving a steady stream of queries and responses from people who've only just heard about the survey, we're extending it the deadline for completion to Monday 21st September to allow as many people as possible the chance to have their say.
Please do spread the word to anyone who hasn't yet filled it in. Archaeology group, local history society, individual researchers: we'd love to hear from you all:
