Hull KR Heritage Project
A Virtual Museum for Hull Kingston Rovers Rugby League Club
Hull KR Community Trust was awarded funding from the University of Hull Spark Fund to present the clubs rich history and heritage through a virtual museum that is housed at the stadium and was also made mobile for use in the community.
We created versions of the Virtual Museum for VR, web, PC, Mac and mobile. The museum is a visually rich interactive experience that uses high end video game graphics and an archive website. This dedicated online archive celebrating the rich heritage of Hull Kingston Rovers went live on Friday 31st March 2023.
The project began during lockdown and brings together artifacts, records, photos, and memorabilia as an important legacy the Clubs heritage.
Currently with over 750 records available through an extensive archive search, visitors can explore photos, newspaper cuttings, podcasts, film clips, results, and stats, and much more. The website is a treasure trove not just for Hull KR fans but for all rugby league fans, it also has important features like language translation and accessibility options for those with visual impairments.
With funding from Hull University, Spark Fund and National Lottery Heritage Fund.
