What We Do

A national centre of excellence, the Canadian Heritage Information Network (CHIN) is a special operating agency of the Department of Canadian Heritage. We enable Canada's museums to engage audiences through the use of innovative technologies. To effectively do this, CHIN:

• mobilizes and supports collaborative networks of heritage institutions (more than 1,300) and research partners;
• develops and provides skills development resources for heritage professionals; and
• supports the development, presentation and promotion of digital heritage content.
