25 years of the IHBC

Introduction

Since 1997 the IHBC - The Institute of Historic Building Conservation - has been supporting and accrediting built and historic environment conservation specialists while promoting the public and charitable benefits of conservation.

Now, the IHBC is marking a quarter of a century since our incorporation as a professional body across our current subscription year, April 2022 to March 2023.

This web page coordinates the anniversary programme across the institute's voluntary, executive and many networks.

Contributing to our 25th anniversary: #IHBC25

Please feel free to contribute ideas, proposals or queries on events, projects, news and more using the anniversary tag #IHBC25 in your social media posts.

Or you can email your thoughts, proposals and suggestions to our support officer Jude Wheeler at support@ihbc.org.uk for passing on for actions and responses.

Update

We started off by launching a logo and links to some accessible digital resources on our NewsBlogs news service HERE.

We are also inviting and encouraging ideas on how Branches, volunteers and members might like to mark this special year, as outlined below!

The IHBC's Board has agreed that funding allocated to support the IHBC's Branch and voluntary network - notified publicly in 2021 HERE may also be tied to local events marking the IHBC's 25th anniversary. Branches can register any event or link to the anniversary using the tag #IHBC25 and the logo, which can be downloaded from the Branch guidance page HERE, or click on the logo above.

Above we have links to lists of the three main aspects of our anniversary programme.
