There’s quite a buzz around the metaphorical Experience Heritage office right now (metaphoric because we are currently working remotely and from two different countries!). Our little team has grown quite a bit for the winter. We’ve taken on 7 Research Volunteers, 2 Graphic Design Interns and 1 Digital Imaging Volunteer.
So why all the hands on deck? We are currently in the process of developing our own heritage trail app for the city of York which we then hope to use as a basis for a more widely released product. The Research Team is helping us gather information about the fascinating places around York in order to develop different themed trails. Meanwhile, the Design Team is helping us to create an easy-to-use and professionally styled app. Last but not least, our Digital Imaging Assistant is helping us to create some really fun and interactive pieces to include as part of the trails. We’re really excited to have all of their help and we are very much looking forward to the final outcome of all of our efforts!
Thanks to all the Volunteers and Interns for their hard work!
