Library and Archives Imaging Group
The Libraries and Archives Imaging Group (LAIG) exists to provide a place for Imaging professionals to get together and get over excited about Library and Archive collections, and the challenges associated with photographing them.
We meet twice a year, each institution take a turn to host, and the meeting is bookended with an informal networking dinner and drinks (non-compulsory, although always very well attended) and a studio tour of the host institution. During the formal meeting the group discuss an official agenda, usually topics cover technical issues and equipment, standards and service developments, and strategic projects. Whilst the informal elements of the meeting provide an opportunity for more detailed, and smaller group, conversations on specific issues, and a chance to develop professional networks and relationships.
The group is open, by request, to AFHAP members and organisations that are working within the Library and Archive sector as Imaging specialists. Please get in touch with the Chair of the group if you wish to request to join.

AHFAP Heritage
AHFAP Heritage is a workgroup dedicated to the management and preservation of the association’s history, archive and legacy. The group works closely with the AHFAP Committee and acts as an advisory board for management of the association's physical and digital archive, preservation, and dissemination of AHFAP's history and legacy.
The group will also endeavour to deepen the connection with long-standing members and explore new ways of rewarding individuals who have served the association with distinction. It will define a new model of honours, in line with AHFAP’s modern structure, and a fair and inclusive approach.
AHFAP heritage group members will aim to meet quarterly, in the last week of January, April, July and October, scheduling gatherings online or in-person. Unless a meeting is held fully online, members of the group will take turns to organise a physical meeting space, ideally with hybrid meeting capabilities. A formal meeting agenda will be proposed prior to each meeting.
The group is open to AFHAP members by request. Please get in touch with the Chair of the group if you wish to request to join.
