Answers to the heritage sector’s most pressing questions have been compiled in a new Digital Heritage Hub.

Designed to help small and medium-sized organisations boost their capability, the hub answers 100 of the sector’s most frequently asked questions, providing links to 100 free resources.

A collaboration between the Arts Marketing Association, the Heritage Digital Consortium and the University of Leeds, the hub is the result of research that sought to uncover the problems vexing heritage organisations, from how to general revenue using digital tools to how to use data in decision making.

It was established with £435,300 funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.

“A lot of small to medium organisations don’t have access to, or the means to access, professional expertise,” said Arts Marketing Association CEO Cath Hume.  “The Digital Heritage Hub will be their free, one stop shop of the expertise they need to take the next step – or even the first step – in their digital journey.”

The project is part of the Heritage Fund’s £3.5m Digital Skills for Heritage initiative. Further resources will be added to the hub in coming months.
