Heritage information offices provide information about historic places, buildings, landscapes, traditions and collections, helping the public understand and explore local or regional heritage. In Northern Ireland, their work may cover archaeological sites, historic monuments, museums, archives, cultural routes and events. They can supply maps, leaflets, guides and digital resources, and answer general enquiries about visiting sites, access arrangements, opening times and available facilities. Some offices also support learning and research by sharing historical records, photographs, publications and educational materials, or by directing enquiries to relevant archives, museums and heritage organisations. They may offer advice on heritage projects, volunteering, community events and the care of historic places, while explaining applicable access or preservation arrangements.
