“The Herbert Media team is amazing! We wanted to learn how to create our own oral history films for Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery but didn't really know where to start. Herbert Media developed a bespoke 'introduction to oral history filming' training day for our staff, advised us on film equipment, delivered 1-1 training on our new equipment and editing software and came along to our first few interviews - helping to build our confidence and provide technical support if anything went wrong. We are now
well on the way to creating our own films and are delighted with the
results!”  Staff at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery

The use of creative media within museums and galleries is on the increase as an effective tool to interpret collections in a more modern way, to engage with new audiences, reach existing audiences more cost effectively and to record the stories of our heritage for posterity.

Herbert Media is unique in being a dedicated professional digital media facility within a regional art gallery and museum. Therefore, we fully understand the requirements, issues, dynamics and financial concerns of the sector and are the leading provider of creative media training for Renaissance West Midlands and therefore museum staff throughout the region.
