Merseyside HER – new access fees

Despite representations from FAME and other heritage bodies, Merseyside Archaeological Service was closed in March 2011. National Museums Liverpool has now announced that access to the Merseyside HER is to be made available for public consultation, at a fee of £500 per day, with a minimum fee of £250. FAME members have expressed their concern at the scale of the increase, so we have written to the Executive Director asking her to explain the proposals.
