A Web Community for Digitising Cultural Heritage Assets

In this paper we describe the HeritageTogether project, which is developing a web-based photogrammetry and archiving service focused on the megalithic monuments of Wales. The project aims to involve the community by crowdsourcing digital images of heritage assets for the construction of 3D models of the heritage assets. The digital archive will provide a record of potentially at-risk and lost heritage and allow future analysis based on the recorded data.
