To build close relationships with public bodies and the general public so that the region's history can be widely understood and everyone with an interest in the past can have access to scholarship of the highest order

To focus international attention on the history of the north-east so that the fascination and interest of the region can be widely appreciated.

To maximise the potential of the region's historic treasures, so that their nature and significance can be fully understood and appreciated regionally, nationally and internationally.
