Mortimer has been created by a group of working archaeologists and is designed to be driven by the commitment and concerns of its membership. We operate by using the Internet and social media like Facebook, Twitter and You Tube, to initiate and support campaigns and conversations about issues effecting Our Past and how we enjoy, study and try to understand it. Central to this strategy is a growing network of individuals and groups who work as part of the Mortimer family. Because we are not affiliated to any existing organisation or political party and do not depend on anyone else for funding, we are free to say what we think about the issues we care about without fear or favour. All donations and profits from events, such as the inaugural Mortimer Debate, go directly to campaigning for Our Past including, most importantly, campaigning for proper support of the people, places, museums, libraries and archives which are essential to help us all to meet our ancestors and enjoy their company. In the end our philosophy is very simple. The Historic Environment and the Natural Environment are one thing; The Environment and that belongs to all of us. As Mortimer says. It is… “Our Past, Our Future, Our Choice.” Visit: http://www.mortimerdebate.com End
