The Goals of the HHS are:

* To promote appreciation of and to raise the level of proficiency in the performance and use of historical harps.
* To keep historical harp makers and performers, along with other friends of the historical harp, informed about literature and activities pertaining to historical harps, and to provide occasions for them to meet.
* To promote the use of historical harps as professional instruments, and to encourage their use among amateurs.
* To encourage the reconstruction of historical harps.
* To collect and disseminate information regarding the construction of and performance upon historical harps.
