8 ORGANIZING INSTITUTIONS A.- Societat Històrico Arqueològica Martí i Bella, (SHAMB) The Marti i Bella Archaeological Historical Society is a non profit making civil entity; created in 1997 within the Cercle Artístic de Ciutadella. Since its creation SHAMB has developed its activities around four fields: 1.- The diffusion and study of the History of Menorca, through the organization of Days of Historical Investigation that is now in its sixteenth year. 2.- The protection and safeguard of the historical heritage of Menorca, through multiple actions that involve the public administration, with projects and petitions for the declaration of Assets of Cultural Interest (BIC) such as the surroundings of Punta Nati, the protection of the remnants of the XVII century, the Sant Francesc convent in Ciutadella, the contents of the modernist Llabrés pharmacy, and the restoration of the most important bulwarks of the city walls at Ciutadella. Along with these, other initiatives include the proposal for the acquisition of the Muslim Fortress at Santa Agueda as a public asset, the creation of a research centre and the Museum of Underwater Archaeology of the Balearic Islands, and the proposed creation of a Municipal Heritage Commission for the defence of the architectural, ethnological, and landscape heritage, amongst others. 3.- GIBET Project (Grup d Intervenció sobre Béns Etnològics): The creation in 2009, of a team of volunteers dedicated to the recovery and restoration of cultural and other structures, including the Civil Cemetery of Ciutadella, some dry stone rural shelters, next to the southern bypass, and the romantic gardens at Sa Vinyeta 4.- The publication of the proceedings of the Historical Research Days, the organisation of historical dissemination conferences and the participation in various national and international forums dedicated to the historical Heritage complete the activity of the first twenty years of the existence of the Martí I Bella Archaeological Historical Society (SHAMB). Within the framework of these efforts in defence of research and scientific knowledge the Societat Històrico Arqueològica Martí i Bella, tries to involve the public in these cultural objectives, organising from October 26 th to 28 th 2018, the 16 th International Congress about Dry Stone, an event instituted and perpetuated by the Société Scientifique Internationale pour l Ètude Pluridisciplinaire de la Pierre Sèche (S.P.S.).
