Yes / The AHRC-funded Curious Travellers project (www.visualisingheritage.org) is a data-mining
and crowd sourced infrastructure to help record, manage and interpret archaeological sites,
monuments and heritage at risk. It provides a priority response to the globally important
challenge of sites that have been destroyed or are under immediate threat from natural
disasters, neglect, conflict and cultural vandalism. The project uses two workflows to scrape
web-based imagery and crowd-source imagery to recreate 3D models of sites and
monuments at risk. Many threats to heritage are linked to issues of access – impacting
conservation and site management as well as the safety of individuals. The project offers
sustainable solutions – working with extant imagery that does not place individuals at
additional safety risk, whilst helping to contextualise visible archaeology by linking to relevant
site and landscape data and integrating this into local historic environment record
frameworks that make this data freely accessible to all.
