Thought you might be interested to hear about a new preview site introducing a brand new cultural
website to be launched late 2005 by Icons Online working with Cognitive Applications and Culture
Online, part of the Dept for Culture, Media and Sport (in England).
We are currently developing the site and beginning the process of gathering nominations for icons.
So do please visit the site at www.icons.org.uk
Icons Online will also be working with a number of educational advisors and cultural and heritage
institutions to help develop content, to stage special events in Dec 2005/2006 and to publicise the
Icons- A Portrait of England project. If anyone is interested in sponsoring, partnering or being
involved in this project, please contact myself, Lisa Carrington at [log in to unmask] We want to
develop an educational programme as part of the site proper we will launch later in 2005, so anyone
interested in being in an informal feedback group could contact us too.
Anyone can nominate icons in England, so do please visit the site at www.icons.org.uk to do so.
Comments, reminiscences, feedback and other contributions are also welcome. - Thanks, Lisa
