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.

Plus, access new resources independent from the database:
Inclusion of a resource in this database does not imply endorsement.
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.
Please report bugs or harmful content so we can address them promptly! Contact Us Form
Please do not send questions to CHAACo about the jobs or resources themselves. Because they are anonymously submitted, we can't connect you to the submitters, and you can see all the information we have!
Much of our free Public Resource Hub is built around an Airtable database to help you find relevant information through centralized search and filter tools. We offer a selection of interfaces and forms optimized to help you efficiently sort through and add new content to the database. No account required!
The Full Resource Hub Database interface offers you two ways to navigate the content:
A simplified table with essential information about all kinds of content in our database.
A large table with all publicly visible fields of information, intended for powerful filtering and searches.
The Job Board section presents two sets of records in separate tables:
All individual job postings submitted to CHAACo ("Individual Job Postings").
Information about and links to job boards run by other organizations ("Other Job Boards").
These have two separate content submission forms:
General Submission Form for all resource types except Jobs
Dedicated Job Board Submission Form for submitting info about jobs and job boards.
CHAACo is continually expanding the resources available through our website. The structure described here may change over time. Look for updates when you return!
Note: To keep things tidy, we automatically filter out obsolete information such as jobs whose deadlines are long past. If you are looking for information about obsolete records, please contact us with your specific query through our Contact Us form, and our moderators will help you if we can.
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: Listings for jobs and other job boards in the cultural heritage sector.
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!
Use any combination of the Hide Fields, Filter, Group, Sort, and Find in View tools at the top of the table to refine the list of resources by any parameters you want. 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.
For more information on searching and filtering, see the instructions sections on the database and job board pages.
For the best viewing experience, we recommend using the database on a computer rather than a mobile device.
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.
To show more or less of the text in the table, use the Row Height tool to make the rows the desired height.
For a full-page experience of the table, click the "View larger version" button at the bottom right corner of the table.
You can print or download the data as a .CSV file or using the "more" ellipsis button (...).
If the embedded table doesn't load, or if you can't find the "View larger version" button, click the "view the full-page version here" link right above where the table should have appeared.
If you don't see the drop-down option you want to select in the filter for a single- or multiple-selection field, it's because none of the current resources have that option selected. The filters only let you pick from options that match at least one record in the table.
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.
You can also zoom out on your browser window to make the interface fit your screen size and make scrolling easier.
If you still have trouble, we recommend clicking the "View larger version" button at the bottom right corner of the table.
Resources and job postings can be submitted by anyone, no account required! Instructions can be found on these pages:

To make our tools even better for serving our community, CHAACo will need funding. We've built our entire platform so far with free tools and creative workarounds. A basic paid plan to upgrade our database costs about $500 per year. Please consider pledging to donate funding for this community resource!
