About DigVentures
DigVentures is a social enterprise dedicated to enabling meaningful civic participation in archaeology and nature recovery projects. We have pioneered innovative methods to increase access and create opportunities for purposeful participation in archaeological research, such as crowdfunding, crowdsourcing, and digital projects. Recently, we’ve expanded our practice to include large-scale citizen science projects spanning both archaeology and nature recovery initiatives.
As a Chartered Institute for Archaeologists Registered Organisation and recipient of the prestigious Europa Nostra European Heritage Award, our work focuses on organising communities in support of cultural and natural resource initiatives. We champion regenerative and sustainable research methods that activate individuals and communities at local, regional, and global levels.
We are a values-led, purpose-driven organisation that unites individuals and communities in reciprocity with one another and the planet. We thrive by fostering a mutual sense of learning, empowerment and commitment to knowledge production and responsible stewardship of our shared natural and cultural heritage.
DV’s organisational DNA comprises impactful programmes, a high performing team, a conscious and caring culture and ways of working that encourage high autonomy and high accountability. We deploy a consistent focus on innovation as deliberate resistance to systemic harms, holding this ethical commitment to dignity as a foundational aspect of all our operations.
DV Values: community – collaboration – curiosity – culture – commitment
