| Description: |
The files contain papers relating to the commercial management of ancient monuments and, in particular, publicity measures, publication of books and meetings of the Ancient Monuments Presentation Committee. Some of these files were re-registered from the EG series into the AMP series at the establishment of the Ancient Monuments (Presentation) Branch in 1969. After 1970 the AMP prefix continued to be used by the Department of the Environment and also by the Historic Buildings and Ancient Monuments Commission (English Heritage) when that agency was created in 1984 to take over much of the work relating to ancient monuments. |
