UK Heritage 3D Data at Risk: Developing a Strategy for Long Term Access & Storage

The aim of this project is to safeguard the UK’s digital heritage at risk on the Sketchfab platform. To achieve this, we will engage a diverse range of UK stakeholders in research to identify organisational and national needs related to digital 3D heritage content. Through this work, we hope to identify sustainable and FAIR solutions to preserve and provide access to the UK’s 3D heritage data. Our ultimate goal is to ensure that this valuable cultural and academic resource remains accessible to researchers, educators, and the public both in the UK and internationally. The legacy of this project will be a clear roadmap toward sustainable access to the UK’s 3D heritage data, safeguarding it for future generations. These outputs will be vital not only for the UK heritage sector, but will also be of immense value to the global cultural heritage community.
