In order to do this, we work closely with and provide technology to various cultural institutions like museums, charities, Trusts etc to digitise their collections and make them available for free to anyone, anywhere.įor this project, we’re partnering with the English Heritage Trust in celebrating the breadth of England’s historical, architectural, and cultural heritage by bringing historical stories and sites online to Google Arts & Culture. This is the main aim of Google Arts & Culture a non-profit arm of Google that helps preserve and bring art, culture, history, and heritage to everyone through technology. With such a wealth of English culture and heritage, technology can play a huge part in sharing this knowledge and ensuring access to these cultural treasure troves. A country as old as ours – spanning across the Roman, Medieval, Tudor, Civil War and Stuart periods through to the 21st century, has amazing stories to tell and many of the sites upon which they are founded still exist today. You might even talk about our behavioural quirks: our need to always apologise or our love of a respectable queue. Or maybe our infrastructure: the venerable NHS or the London Underground. If I were to ask you to give examples of English culture, it would be pretty easy wouldn’t it? Perhaps you’d talk about food: our penchant for fish and chips, beans on toast, or yorkshire puddings.
