published October 25th 2002 HERITAGE experts in Wiltshire need help to create an on-line window on the county's historical and cultural treasures. Window on Wiltshire's Heritage is an innovative £425,000 Lottery-funded project that will set up a web-based resource, connecting to a wide variety of partner sites detailing Wiltshire's rich and varied history and culture. Wiltshire is renowned around the globe for its historical riches, such as Stonehenge and Avebury. The new web site will increase public access to heritage information and enable anyone with an interest in history to access a wide range of information about the county, covering heritage, culture and the natural environment. Members of staff at Wiltshire County Council are leading the project. The home page is now on-line and the scheme will take two and a half years to complete. Project leaders are seeking help from potential users during the development stages and an on-line questionnaire has been created to find out what they want from the site As part of the consultation process, visitors to the site are being asked to nominate their favourite example of Wiltshire's heritage and culture. This could be anything from a building or monument to a favourite landscape or aspect of the county's natural heritage. The results of the poll will be published on the web site next year, together with photographs of the top nominations. The Window on Wiltshire's Heritage project involves a total of 19 partner organisations connected with the county's heritage. It will act as a portal, connecting to the partner sites. The questionnaire is available on http://www.wowheritage.org.uk or by calling 01225 713718. Back to 2002 index |
