The Heritage Resource Guide compiles a range of online heritage resources. This include archives, digital collections, data bases and inventories, GIs applications, video, mobile apps, most of which can be accessed freely on personal devices.
It covers numerous subjects e.g. archaeology and history, architecture, coastal and marine, habitats and species, museums and collections.
If you notice that a favourite resource of yours is not included, please let us know. This Guide is a living, expanding list. It was compiled as part of the Heritage Council's contribution to the European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018.
Organising a festival or a small event is a great way to excite people about heritage. It can also be an excellent way of supporting local businesses by bringing people into a usually quiet village or town centre.

The advice and checklists are intended to provide focus and structure during the planning process as well as guidance on how best to reach target audiences.
