Dr Damian Shiels

I have over 25 years’ experience in the heritage sector with particular expertise in researching, interpreting and communicating the past for and to the public. I am available to consult on all forms of projects that relate to heritage and history outreach, both with individuals and organisations.

Over the course my career I have developed, managed and designed a wide-range of public-facing heritage initatives on behalf of community groups, public bodies, organisations and businesses. My wide-range of experience in the area has been gleaned across the public, private and academic sectors, including positions such as Curator at the National Museum of Ireland; Company Director, Post Excavation and Publications Manager at one of Europe’s largest archaeological consultancies; and Research Fellow and Digital Humanities/Outreach specialist at Northumbria University.

You can learn more about my expertise and track-record through the Portfolio page of the website, which highlights a number of the projects I have worked on. The other sections outline my Publication, Media , Podcasting and Public Speaking experience, my work with StoryMaps and my CV.

If have a heritage project or proposal you would like to discuss, or if you are interested in a quote for professional or consultancy services, please don’t hesistate to drop me a line via the website’s Contact Page.
