Collaborate with Cultural Heritage Online
Three ways to work with a heritage archive published continuously since 1998 — with real credit, real bylines, and fair, published terms.
Three tracks
Photographers
Publish your heritage photography with full credit — and sell digital licences directly on the place pages your photos illustrate. You keep everything minus payment processing.
Writers & Journalists
Publish with your byline on an archive cited by The Guardian, National Geographic and five Wikipedia editions. Three published articles unlock recognition, selling tools and paid assignments.
Tour & Experience Operators
Start free with your place and events. With Operator PRO, sell tickets, bookable experiences and road-books — you keep 99% of every sale.
How collaboration works here
- You never pay to publish. Collaborators are credited and, where sales or assignments are involved, paid — never the other way round. (Commercial guest content from clients is a separate, always-labelled programme; see Ownership & Funding.)
- Real credit, always. Photographs carry the photographer’s name on every image; articles carry the author’s byline and date.
- Fixed, published compensation. Where money is involved, the terms are fixed and stated in advance. There is no bidding and no negotiating downward.
- One standard for everyone. The Editorial Guidelines and the Corrections Policy apply to every published contribution, whoever wrote or photographed it.
How paid assignments are distributed
When a paid writing or photography assignment comes in, it is offered by email to all eligible collaborators on that track. The first qualified collaborator to accept takes it; the editors may assign directly where a subject calls for specific expertise — someone who has already covered Hungarian Art Nouveau gets the Hungarian Art Nouveau assignment. Compensation is fixed in advance: accepting faster never means accepting less.
