Heritage, Museums, Libraries and Archives

Government Office for the North West works closely with English Heritage and is a member of the North West Historic Environment Forum. English Heritage is the public body responsible for protecting historic buildings and promoting awareness of the importance of heritage. English Heritage operates a number of different funding programmes and acts as one of the Heritage Lottery Fund’s key advisory bodies.

The historic environment, museums and galleries are a major educational resource, an important part of our cultural heritage and a valued resource in their communities. More information on the national picture
