Facebook and the IAAH
Posted: 26 Apr 2018, 14:58
On 1 May we shall open a closed Facebook group available only to Fellows, Associate Fellows and Members of the IAAH - a "members' lounge" on Facebook. People who are only members of this Forum and the public in general will have no access and indeed be unable to see its presence on FB.
So if you are a member of this Forum but not of the Association, or simply visiting, and wish to have access to us on Facebook you will need to become a Member of the IAAH. The application form is here:
http://fs8.formsite.com/secretary/membership-application/index.html
The idea is to encourage more interaction between members, some of whom visit the Forum only rarely, but use FB regularly. This does not mean that the Forum is rendered obsolete. On the contrary, we hope that the FB Group will help to remind members of the Forum's existence. Material that has long-term interest will be copied to the appropriate area of the Forum where it may be accessed (we trust) in future years, whereas the FB material will be harder to find the longer it has not been accessed and of course will have no sub-sets (e.g. Spanish Heraldry) where one can look for specific items.
