More than ever, heritage organisations are looking to develop their knowledge and understanding of digital. Our Digital Skills for Heritage initiative, launched in February 2020, is designed to help them thrive.
Helping to embed digital into heritage work
We are offering a range of activities and resources to reflect the varying needs, locations, sizes and levels of digital experience of heritage organisations.
The first phase of these activities has been refocused and shifted online in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis to better meet current need and take the sector into the future.
