Window on Wiltshire's Heritage is an innovative £425,000 Lottery-funded project that aims to unite the county's wealth of history, and link a number of current heritage websites already up and running.

Wiltshire is renowned around the globe for its historical riches, such as the world-famous ancient monuments at Stonehenge and Avebury.

The new web site will increase public access to heritage information and enable anyone with an interest in history to access a wide range of information about the county - covering heritage, culture and the natural environment.

Project leaders are seeking help from potential users during the development stages and an on-line questionnaire has been created to find out what they want from the site.

As part of the consultation process, visitors to the site are being asked to nominate their favourite example of Wiltshire's heritage and culture - this could be anything from a building or monument to a favourite landscape or aspect of the county's natural heritage.

Assistant project officer at Wiltshire County Council, Helen Shalders, said: "We intend to build an on-line resource that everyone in Wiltshire can be proud of, but we need to know what users want to get out of it so we can tailor it to meet their needs.

"We would like as many people as possible to fill in the questionnaire, so we can get a clear idea of the type of content web site users would like to see.

"We want to hear from anyone with an interest in Wiltshire's heritage, including local people, people from overseas researching their family history, and those who have visited or are planning to visit any of the county's large number of wonderful tourist attractions."
