Keeping up with digital trends can be daunting for a small to medium-sized heritage organisation. Limitations on your time and budget make it challenging to research and understand which emerging digital activity might be of interest or benefit to your organisation. This guide aims to signpost tools and resources you can access to keep abreast on what’s new in digital.
A great way to keep up with emerging digital trends and what’s happening more generally in the heritage sector is to establish communities of practices – groups of like-minded professionals who can share insights, learning and experiences and provide support when it is needed. This guide aims to explain what a community of practice is, how to create one and why your heritage organisation might benefit from establishing such a community.
