The IHBC is marking our 25th anniversary across this subscription year, from April 2022 to March 2023, and as part of looking back – and forward – we’re celebrating some of the free IHBC ‘jewels’ that help members and the wider sector contribute to our charitable objects – supporting built and historic environment conservation across the UK and beyond – starting with this first feature: our Toolbox.
…celebrating some of the free IHBC ‘jewels’…
IHBC Director Seán O’Reilly said: ‘The IHBC’s ToolBox developed first from 2012 as a suite of Members’ digital resources to help online learning and applications for IHBC conservation accreditation. It was first called the IHBC’s ‘Webstarter’, and then the ‘Selfstarter’.
‘This service was then recast as the IHBC’s ToolBox – in a phased development process from 2015 – creating an easy-access hub with other existing services. So for example we added our new Research Notes and Guidance Notes to help integrate the original service with our wider and expanding practice support.’
‘Currently the ToolBox Home Page features 9 panels links to practice and career resources that include everything from the Sustainability Position Statement, under our Standards and Guidelines link, to our Design sources for historic building conservation, under the Guidance Notes.’
‘Do take some time to check out our ToolBox, now also linked with the toolbox icon at the top of our Home Page.’
‘And you can see how the Toolbox can reach a wider audience through the IHBC’s Conservation Wiki with select references listed HERE’
