An exploration of history and heritage

Humanists UK is the national charity for Humanism that stresses the importance of human values and dignity. It proposes that people can resolve problems through the use of science and reason.

The organisation celebrated its 125th anniversary and commissioned us to design and develop the Humanist Heritage website, cataloguing much of its 125-year history.

They received cross-party video messages of congratulations from the Leader of the Opposition and Labour, Sir Keir Starmer; the First Minister of Scotland and leader of the Scottish National Party, Nicola Sturgeon; from the leader of the Liberal Democrats, Sir Edward Davey; the co-leader of the Green Party of England and Wales, Siân Berry; and a warm letter of thanks from the Conservative UK Government.

About the project

This was a fantastic, internationally recognised organisation to work with. The project started with meetings in London to discuss and work out the full scope of the project. We then worked together to form an overall working group with the organisation, led by the fiercely talented Heritage Coordinator, Madeleine Goodall.

This was a huge project with lots of content-rich data that needed to be cataloged and displayed in an easy to use and accessible way. Standout features include the interactive map and timeline which allow visitors to explore the content in an intuitive and interesting way.

We’ve been really grateful that Heritage Creative understood our approach and what our brand attempts to convey right away. We felt like the team really got to grips with who we were and that meant they were able to intelligently and creatively make design choices that were true to who we are and our goals.
