AHI is the key UK forum for anyone interested in interpretation: the art of helping people explore and appreciate our world. AHI aims to promote high standards in the provision of interpretation and to gain wider recognition of interpretation as a professional activity. The Association was founded in 1975 as the Society for the Interpretation of Britain's Heritage.

We run events where you can meet other interpreters, publish a lively journal three times a year that will keep you up to date with current thinking and practice, and run a respected awards scheme.
