YEARBOOK and DIRECTORY 2020 | 11 AREA AND SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS CIfA has five Area and 16 Special Interest Groups, bringing together professionals with specific historic environment interests in either a geographic area, or a subject area and are an integral part of the institute’s work. Membership of all groups is free to CIfA members, while non-members pay a small annual subscription. You will receive information from the groups via ebulletins or newsletters and discounts on training and CPD events.
