Lincolnshire is steeped in rich history, from ancient aviation sites and Roman ruins to centuries-old agricultural milestones. Yet, many local museums, historical trusts, and heritage sites are struggling to survive with outdated, invisible websites.
We believe that organisations preserving local history shouldn't have to sacrifice their hard-earned preservation funding just to have a high-quality website that attracts modern visitors.
That is exactly why we launched the Heritage Hub, a dedicated programme operated by Blubanana Community CIC. Our mission is to digitise and protect Lincolnshire's historical assets.
Our Mission: To ensure that no heritage site, museum, or historical trust in Lincolnshire fades into obscurity due to the technical or financial barriers of the digital world. We believe that organisations dedicated to preserving our culture deserve elite, modern web engineering.
Digital Preservation and Footfall
A heritage website needs to do more than just display an address and an opening time. It must act as a digital archive, a storytelling platform, and a seamless ticketing engine.
Through the Heritage Hub, we build bespoke digital experiences designed to drive physical footfall. We implement modern, mobile-first architectures so that tourists exploring Lincolnshire can find your site instantly on their phones. From interactive historical timelines to streamlined donation portals, we engineer the digital tools you need to secure your site's future.
Grant Funded Heritage Projects
Most heritage organisations require complex digital architecture. Building expansive interactive archives, video integration, and advanced donation systems requires significant engineering time.
Under our Grant Funded Tier, we work directly with your trust or museum to build the digital asset using available local and national heritage grants (such as the National Lottery Heritage Fund). We understand the requirements of grant applications in the UK and will provide the exact technical roadmaps, architectural plans, and transparent quoting necessary to help secure your digital funding.
The "Free" Tier Initiative
For smaller historical societies that just need a clean, professional presence online, the Heritage Hub offers a fully-subsidised Free Tier.
If your organisation qualifies, we will design, engineer, and host a bespoke, high-performance website for £0 setup and £0 per month. We fund these assets through our curated local partner network. Subtle sponsorships integrated into the site cover the server costs and security required to keep your digital history alive and flawless.
Who is Eligible?
The Heritage Hub is designed specifically to support the preservation ecosystem right here in our home county. We review every application carefully, prioritising:
- Heritage sites, local museums, and historical trusts based in Lincolnshire.
- Community Interest Companies (CICs) operating for historical preservation.
- Registered charities focused on local culture and education.
Let's Secure Your Digital Legacy
Your museum's funding should go towards preservation—not towards expensive website maintenance and broken templates. Let us handle the technology so you can focus on protecting our history.
