I'm surprised that those urls haven't already been taken by feminist herstorians!

Probably a sanitised version, with less detail than might go into the Audits? Some HER have their own CMS web sites and can put such material there of course, but many do not, hence the tentative suggestion for a central repository for all. http://herstories.info or http://herhistories.org.uk or something! Could equally be under e.g. HG, IFP, ALGAO, but if enough people are interested and there's no easy solution already we'll set something up. atb Crispin -----Original Message----- From: Issues related to Historic Environment Records [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Wise, Julia Sent: 29 April 2014 11:22 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Friday question - ideas for a birthday celebration The late 1990s full audit spec also required an introductory section summarising the history and development of the SMR. I certainly included one when we did the Bucks SMR audit in 2000 and have mentioned major HER developments in subsequent Action Plans and Quinquennial audit revisits. The late 90s full audit spec actually included a lot of detailed information gathering about the service as a whole with 3 of the 7 report sections concentrating on history and development, resourcing, policy and access. The remaining 4 sections covered information flow and processes, database content and spatial recording.

Nick B is quite correct in saying that audit reports (or at least the majority of them) contain a short history of the HER in question (confined, of course, to English HERs). Audit revisits, however, make no specific requirement for the HER to update these. Nonetheless though, these histories might serve as useful source material should an HER choose to produce a definitive account. In this respect, however, I should probably outline the implications of audit protocol for an initiative of this type: The audit process is undertaken in confidence and we would not be able to consider providing extracts from these reports to a third party. It would though, be possible for the HER to use their own copy of the report to draft an up to date and definitive version to submit to any central repository (should one be created). We would, of course, be happy to provide copies of the histories directly to HERs who no longer have their reports on file.

The full audit spec since 2008 has asked HERs to provide a brief history of themselves as part of the introduction. I can't speak for audits prior to this but I think ones n 2006/7 despite being laid out differently were more similar to current audits than the RCHME ones of the late 90s which concentrated on the data itself rather than service as a whole. We tend not to ask this again when HERs do their audit revisits so once you're in the current audit programme you only really do this once. Nick has far more information about this than I so I'm sure he will correct me if I'm wrong! Sometimes its good to celebrate things but it does rely on you remembering/realising there is an anniversary coming up. It was pulling together some statistics on HER Forum that made me realise that this year was a 'significant' year of sorts so in some ways a pure accident. Any further ideas of ways we can celebrate on list? I do accept e-mails off list if you don't want to shout them out to the rest of the list! all the best Sarah ________________________________________ Buckinghamshire County Council Visit our Web Site : http://www.buckscc.gov.uk Buckinghamshire County Council Email Disclaimer This Email, and any attachments, may contain Protected or Restricted information and is intended solely for the individual to whom it is addressed.
