The heritage networking website Our Place has been saved from the threat of closure, it was announced last month.

The site was under threat following the news that English Heritage, which launched the project in 2007, is closing its entire outreach programme (see link below).

Miriam Levin, English Heritage’s former head of outreach, said she was delighted that the Diversity in Heritage Group would take over running the site. The network describes itself as a group of practitioners interested in broadening engagement by professionalising practice and enabling equitable dialogue with communities.
