GUEST EXHIBITORS
A number of organisations and groups will be present reflecting the wide and diverse interest in Cornish heritage.

THE ROYAL CORNWALL MUSEUM

Anna Tyacke will be available to discuss and record items brought in on exhibition days, as part of The Portable Antiquities Scheme.

"The Portable Antiquities Scheme is a voluntary recording scheme for archaeological objects found by members of the public. Every year many thousands of objects are discovered, many of these by metal detector users, but also by people whilst out walking, gardening or going about their daily work. Such discoveries offer an important source for understanding our past."


COUNTY HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT SERVICE
The Historic Environment Service's aim is to identify, record, protect, conserve, present and interpret the historic environment and heritage of Cornwall and Isles of Scilly.

CORNWALL FAMILY HISTORY SOCIETY
The Society aims to become a ‘centre of excellence’ encouraging research into Cornish family history, by co-ordinating transcription and indexing of original records by its members, by maintaining a research library in Truro for members and the general public, by offering a means of contact and information exchange between members. The Society was formed in 1976 and now has over 5000 active members, many live outside Cornwall, with members in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, USA and other countries.

CORNWALL ARCHEOLOGICAL SOCIETY
The Society was formed in 1961 - it grew out of the West Cornwall Field Club, itself founded in 1935 by a group of enthusiasts who were studying the archaeology of West Cornwall.  Currently the society has nearly 600 members and organises activities covering all aspects of the discipline.
