British Academy and Honor Frost Foundation Steering Committee on Underwater Cultural Heritage
In 2012 the British Academy and the Honor Frost Foundation set up a committee to work on projects related to underwater cultural heritage and maritime archaeology. The BA/HFF Steering Committee on Underwater Cultural Heritage was formally established in March 2013. The Steering Committee’s primary purpose is to advise on and to help to shape policy, and to develop programmes in relation to the safeguarding of Underwater Cultural Heritage for the British Academy and the Honor Frost Foundation.
