UK Centre for Carnival Arts HLF Carnival Archive Project
Invitation to Tender – Project Evaluation
Total contract price: £10,000
Evaluation to take place from appointment date until Spring 2013
The UK Centre for Carnival Arts have secured Heritage Lottery funding to develop a digital archive to celebrate the Carnival heritage of the East of England. The project and staff are based in four hub locations; Luton, Norwich, Southend and Northampton. The project aims to gather an archive about the rich history of carnival and street celebrations that is accessible to everyone and can be interpreted to produce inspiring local, regional and national stories for everybody to enjoy and learn from.
The archive project is overseen by a steering group and an advisory group.
The project will encourage and enable local communities to collect carnival material as well as to digitally record and interpret the material for use by a broad audience. The aim of the project is to skill up local carnivalists and communities to understand the value of historic and contemporary archives as well as the need to preserve them.
The project will enable local communities to preserve original material through deposits at local record offices and create a methodology for collecting and interpreting carnival archives that can be rolled out for use by other regions.
A central team consisting of the Project Manager, Digital Archivist and Web Editor are based at UKCCA in Luton. They work with four learning and outreach officers and four archive-coordinators who are based with our partners organisations throughout the region.
The successful candidate will be expected to evaluate the performance of the project against key objectives, milestones and deliverables. There will also be some travel around the region to visit the project hubs. You will also be expected to make a substantial contribution to the final project report, which will be produced by the project manager.
