We finish 2025 with two HERIe workshops in London
Over 50 people from several countries participated in two two-day workshops on the HERIe digital platform at the Courtauld Institute of Art and the University of London/English Heritage, organized as part of the GoGreen project. We hope everyone not only learned something but also had fun. So far, we have over 4,500 registered HERIe users. READ MORE
The HERIe platform is presented at the conference of the Society for Preservation of Natural History Collections (SPNHC)
Not only are museums of fine art using the HERIe platform, but now also museums of natural history. …and we use the occasion to see wild bisons on the prairies.
