About Be Here This project enables access to culture anywhere, anytime, for everyone. Be Here is an initiative to increase participation in cultural heritage by enabling more and more diverse voices to tell place-based stories of the communities and collections they know best. By publishing community-sourced stories on free and open platforms, Be Here capitalizes on the power and familiarity of smart phones to offer travelers and local explorers a new way to discover the often hidden culture, histories, and creativity around them. As people visit a place using their location-aware mobile devices, the stories of surrounding points and objects of interest can be triggered to play automatically based on their geolocations, immersing participants in the moment and creating a new genre of cultural experience and learning.
