The Models section of the Kent Archaeological Society website showcases a growing collection of 3D models, virtual reconstructions, and immersive tours that bring Kent’s archaeology and heritage into a dynamic digital environment. Using techniques such as photogrammetry and digital modelling, the section allows users to explore artefacts, buildings, and landscapes in detail—from individual objects in the Society’s collections to full virtual tours of churches, historic sites, and excavations . These resources provide new ways to engage with the past, offering interactive experiences that complement traditional publications and images.

We invite individuals, local societies, researchers, and digital specialists to contribute 3D models and virtual content to help expand this innovative resource. Submissions may include photogrammetry models, digital reconstructions, virtual tours, or interactive environments that explore archaeological sites, artefacts, buildings, or landscapes in Kent. Contributions that combine visualisation with interpretation—whether through guided tours, annotated models, or linked datasets—are particularly encouraged, helping to make complex material accessible to a wider audience.

Selected submissions may be featured within the Society’s Models section to support research, education, and public engagement. When submitting, please include details such as title, creator, date, and a description of the content, along with any relevant links or access requirements. Our editorial team may make minor adjustments for clarity or presentation where needed. By contributing, you help build an evolving digital archive that preserves and shares Kent’s heritage through cutting-edge visualisation and interactive technology.
