Currently we provide a forum for the exchange of technical expertise, research, training, and material needs such as tools, supplies, and sources for goods and services among our members to
preserve the traditional practise of the actual trade. The HCC also acts as a public clearinghouse for related research, educational resources, and professional services by members in their various fields of expertise, as well as through the support of educational activities such as: independent research projects; publications; demonstrations of historical boot and shoemaking; tool and artifact exhibits; and special practical workshops.
