What is CyArk’s Open Heritage Program?

CyArk’s Open Heritage Program is an initiative to provide access to point cloud data as well as photogrammetric imagery via a lf-serve platform. The program was launched in April 2018 and data has been made available for an initial 26 sites.

How do I access data?

Access to data through CyArk’s Open Heritage Program is possible by completing the following form. You will then receive an email containing links to download the ata associated with the requested site.

Why is data for X site not available?

We are endeavoring to provide access to as many sites as possible from our archive. In some instances the owners or managers of sites have security or privacy concerns that we respect and therefore we are unable to provide open access. In other instances the data sets were collected by other entities and we do not have the rights to provide access without their permission.

When will more sites become available?

When there are no restrictions we are working hard to curate data sets and make them available as soon as possible given resources constraints.
