Benefits of ICT for Milltown Heritage Group 

ICT has been hugely beneficial for Milltown Heritage Group in recent years. Having an online presence has opened doors right across the globe. Our heritage website has awakened interest in our diaspora and there has been an increase in genealogical research in the local area. Visitors have come from far and wide. This is good for business as they visit our local restaurants and get to enjoy the heritage of the area. Social media accounts keep their followers updated: Facebook and Twitter.

There are various emerging technologies that would further enhance the heritage of Milltown. Virtual reality has become popular within many museums around the world. There is potential for the heritage group to look at ways they could integrate virtual reality into their collection. Although it is costly, perhaps a funding opportunity may arise in the future.
