How much does it cost to participate in the Heritage Digital project?

Where can I register for webinars and events?
The best way to keep informed of all upcoming webinars, events and resources is by registering on the Heritage Digital portal. We will send regular updates on upcoming training to a dedicated mailing list for the project.
I couldn’t attend the live webinar. Will it be available to watch after the event?
All webinars will be recorded and available to watch after live broadcast. We aim to upload these within 10 days of the live event.
