Our take
Arches is a fantastic free to use tool that aids project and data management in heritage projects. Through its nature arches could be a powerful tool for communication and visualisation of information while inviting audience participation. Local heritage projects can use Arches to effectively collaborate with local communities, such as the Barbados National Registry of Historic Places where the people could nominate historic places to be added to the registry. Arches is a great tool for your toolkit and is only limited by the imagination.
