Historic England is commissioning an audit of research into the impact of the Transatlantic Slave Economy on the built environment in England. The tender for this research work is now out and is open until 4 March 2020. https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a8de1f69-20fb-48d1-8d50-6150990ea6f5
The purpose of the commissioned research is to assist Historic England and the heritage sector with the identification of research gaps and the formulation of future research projects in this field.
The brief is-
"To carry out a desk-based audit of existing research into the Transatlantic Slave Economy (TSE) in England, with an emphasis on work exploring its impact on the built environment. The wealth derived from the TSE is understood to have had a significant impact on the built environment of our cities, towns, and landscapes but the research and evidence to support this is largely non-existent. An overview of research in this sphere will provide a fuller, more integrated, understanding of what has been done. It will capture and provide a brief description of the research disseminated via a range of media - books, articles, databases, exhibitions, etc.- including the significant body of work produced as part of the marking in 2007 of the bi-centenary of the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act, and will form a valuable research output in its own right."
Kind regards
Robin
