About Us

Welcome to the Culture.info website.

This website covers a number of sub-portals which provide information under one of three strands:

• A cultural area
• A place
  
• A theme

The aim of Culture.Info is to be the first port-of-call for users seeking cultural information on a particular topic. Each Culture.Info sub-portal will provide a carefully researched set of listings of links to information that is more focused and useful than can usually be obtained from the vast majority of existing listings or search engines.

Cultural areas will be added in due course in the following key areas:

• Heritage – including archaeology, archives, conservation, history, heritage, museums
• Media – including advertising, broadcasting, digital & new media, film, games, publishing, radio, television
• Performing – including circus, comedy, dance, festivals, music, opera, puppetry, theatre
• Pursuits – including antiques & collecting, hobbies & pastimes, outdoor activities
• Sport – individual and team, and also sports involving animals
• Visual – including architecture, crafts, design, exhibitions, galleries, painting, photography, sculpture
• Words – including books & literature, languages, libraries, reading, writing

A place could be a country, a region or even a city.

It is intended to add at least one new sub-portal each month.

The Culture.Info website does not initially aim to provide a comprehensive listing of individual cultural organisations – there are many existing websites that provide such services. Instead, it aims to lists key cultural information and resource websites in the areas listed below:

• Associations and networks
• Funding and development bodies
• Support and resource agencies
• Portals and information sources

We welcome submissions of entries to any Culture.Info sub-portal and also welcomes ideas and suggestions for new sub-portals. We are also keen to develop and present new sub-portals in partnership with other agencies, or through sponsorship from interested organisations. We are also exploring opportunities for particular organisations or activities to highlight through paid advertising. In due course, we hope to add some critical commentary of the various websites listed on Culture.Info – if you are interested in providing such critical commentary on one or more of the websites listed, we would also be pleased to hear from you.
