Heritage conservation specialist Helen Smith has published *The Heritage Filming Handbook*, a practical guide for historic properties considering film and photography productions.
Drawing on 30 years of experience working with film crews in heritage locations, Smith covers attracting productions, managing contracts, protecting historic buildings and collections, and navigating the practical demands of filming.
The book also examines how location work can generate income for conservation and introduce heritage sites to new visitors through screen tourism.
The foreword is written by Victoria Marsland, National Conservator for Filming and Locations at the National Trust, which manages hundreds of historic properties across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Published on 10 November, the handbook is the first volume in the *Lights, Camera, Heritage!* series.
