Why do we record town buildings of different types and ages? What are the research and administrative aims? There is increasing demand for accessible historic buildings records, but potential users often find them unsuited to their purposes. What is the relationship between the purposes of a record and what is and is not recorded? To whom are the results of recording disseminated? How is the practical impact of recording or investigation assessed? What do recording and investigation contribute to the aims, and what are their limitations. Covering a range of approaches to towns of different periods, this weekend will provide an opportunity to explore these practical questions which everyone who records buildings should routinely address but are rarely a matter of wider debate.
