DC Research Ltd is an economics, creative and culture research and consultancy company, based in Carlisle and operating across the UK. Since our establishment in 2008, DC Research has developed a national reputation for providing high-quality research across the heritage, cultural, and creative sectors throughout the UK. DC Research’s track record is founded on the wide range of heritage, cultural and creative sector research that we have carried out over the last 12 years. We primarily work in the economics, creative and cultural fields, including heritage and museums, and have carried out work for national organisations and agencies – such as Arts Council England, Association of Independent Museums, British Museum, Creative Scotland, DCMS, National Lottery Heritage Fund, Museums Galleries Scotland, Welsh Government – as well as work for organisations in places across the UK. We have a particular focus on applying economic research methods, techniques, and tools to the cultural and heritage sectors – and have used these skills to support culture and heritage organisations in advocacy, funding applications, evaluation, organisational and action plan development, and assessing economic and social impact and contribution.
