The society has raised significant political and public awareness about Herculaneum papyri and the conservation challenges faced, whilst also supporting research and scholarship, via bursaries, a series of publications and the creation of an archive of research materials. Internationally it has encouraged the foundation of an equivalent society in the USA.
