Would an Independent Scotland Increase or Decrease Heritage and Archaeology Funding?
September 17, 2014
On the issue of Scotland’s independence, the ‘Yes’ campaign says, “the roads will be paved with gold, which we will ride our unicorns on”, and the ‘No Thanks’ campaign says, “the devil will set up his new home in Scotland as it degrades into a failed state” when it comes to the future of economy and […]

Cloud computing and Cultural Heritage IT

Another great presentation from CAAUK: Stephen Stead (Southampton University and Paveprime Ltd) Cloud computing has become the common term used by many manufacturers to describe their products and services.
