Our last symposium which was held in Leicester in 2018 was a great success with over 50 delegates sharing the results and experiences of their AHRC, HLF and museum funded projects. Details of the last event can be found at www.heritagenetwork.dmu.ac.uk/symposium
The Connected Communities Heritage Network www.heritagenetwork.dmu.ac.uk was originally funded by the AHRC to provide a forum and support for both academics, community partners working on Connected Communities and Digital Transformation Heritage Projects. It has also provided a useful forum for museums and heritage organisations.
The symposium is free. Previously published but relevant work is welcome however, following the symposium, contributors presenting new work will be invited to submit papers for peer review and inclusion in an edited volume.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions
