Creating digital storytelling experiences for your heritage venue

Museums visitors are now much more willing to use their phones to access digital content to enhance their visitor experience. The technology to deliver this can be cheap and easy: a simple mobile-optimised website will do the job. But creating engaging content that’s tailored to visitor needs and attention patterns is challenging. Brighton and Hove Museums worked with volunteers to create a new audio guide for Preston Manor and a digital storytelling experiment in Brighton Museum & Art Gallery.

Digital Heritage Hub is managed by Arts Marketing Association (AMA) in partnership with The Heritage Digital Consortium and The University of Leeds. It has received Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and National Lottery funding, distributed by The Heritage Fund as part of their Digital Skills for Heritage initiative. Digital Heritage Hub is free and answers small to medium sized heritage organisations most pressing and frequently asked digital questions.
