A free, crowdsourced database to help the cultural heritage community find and share information about jobs, funding and training opportunities, professional associations, advocacy templates, online resources, and more.

Inclusion of a resource on this list does not imply endorsement. Moderators reserve the right to reject spam and resources that are clearly unrelated or in opposition to our mission, and they may edit the listing for clarity.
Please note that at our current capacity, moderator approval of submitted resources may take up to three days, and therefore this database currently does not serve as a crowdsourced news feed.
In this first version of our Resource Hub, you can explore all database contents together in a spreadsheet view, which can be filtered, and open individual records in a pop-up "card". We intend to expand on the presentation of these resources over time with features such as a dedicated Job Board page. Stay tuned!
You can use the Hide Fields, Filter, Group, Sort, and Search tools at the top of the table to refine the list of resources by any parameters you want. For simplicity, you can also right-click on a specific column header or select the down-arrow that appears in the column header to set filtering tools relevant to that column.
To expand a single resource for easier reading, click twice on the resource name, or click once on the diagonal-arrows button that appears to the left of the name. In this expanded "card" view, you can also click the up and down arrows in the top left corner to read through consecutive records while staying in the same view format.
For a full-page experience of the table, click the "View larger version" button at the bottom right corner of the table.
If the embedded table doesn't load, or if you can't find the "View larger version" button, click here for the full-page version.
If you have trouble scrolling, make sure your cursor focus is on the feature you want to move (such as the margin around the embedded table). If you are using a mouse with a scroll wheel, holding the shift key or shift-control while scrolling may allow you to scroll horizontally.
For the best viewing experience, we recommend using the database on a computer rather than a mobile device.
In alphabetical order:
Advocacy: Information or tools to support and train effective advocacy for cultural heritage endeavors.
Allied Organization: Websites of organizations in the cultural heritage community with related missions, affinities, and needs.
Note: CHAACo does not necessarily have a relationship with these organizations; we are just beginning to build our inter-organizational relationships.
Call to Action: Requests for mass participation in a coordinated, targeted response to a recognized problem or opportunity related to CHAACo's mission.
Current Events (News): Links to news articles and discussions relevant to current advocacy, policy, and related needs in the cultural heritage community.
For news that does not fit into at least one other resource category, articles with substantive information, discussion, and/or analysis will be the most helpful and durable.
Event to Attend: Information about an event that cultural heritage community members may be interested in attending, such as conferences or gatherings related to cultural heritage or advocacy.
Grant: Grant opportunities for cultural endeavors. This may also be used to label resources related to grants, such as advice on rescinded grants.
If submitting a specific grant opportunity, please check to verify that it is currently supported by its funding organization.
Job Posting: Postings for jobs in cultural heritage sector and related fields, as well as links to the job boards of other organizations.
Online Resource: Article or website that provides information or tools to empower the cultural heritage community.
Template: Advocacy letter-writing scripts and templates.
Training Opportunity: Listings for opportunities to expand skills relevant to careers in cultural heritage, such as courses, webinars, workshops, or internships.
Other: Miscellaneous resources.
The resource types listed may change and grow at any time!
You can submit resources to our database with our resource submission form! Please fill out as many fields as you can to help users find and understand your resource.
Scroll to the bottom of this page for the embedded form, or click to open the full-page form.
Our database moderators will review all submissions before they become publicly visible.
Housekeeping Note:
To keep our database tidy, opportunity resource types (Grant, Job Posting, and Training Opportunity) are built with a filter to clear expired listings. These are automatically removed after a grace period of 1 to 2 months.
If you submit an "evergreen" opportunity resource, such as a museum's job board page that gets new content, be sure to include the additional resource type Online Resource or use one of these keywords in the description field: "rolling", "no deadline", or "job board". These will be kept.
CHAACo allows anonymous submissions so that there is no barrier to community-wide participation, but we cannot verify or guarantee that any user-submitted contents are accurate, trustworthy, or free of malware.
Please exercise due diligence to verify the authenticity of listed websites, job applications, and other information before interacting with them or submitting personal data to them.
We recommend using antivirus software and/or safe-browsing tools and extensions to scan any files you want to open or download.
