I agree with Liz and Rachel's earlier comments. Option 3 would be better, but I am afraid I would have very little or no time at all to look at and enhance the records. Without some identified resource to employ a dedicated person to do the work the data won't be entered, however much I think it would be useful (and I do think this project is!). We were able to take part in SHINE, but only because there was an identified pot of money to bid for which we could employ someone to do the work. We undertook a data exchange with the National Trust in 2008 where the data was 'dumped' into the HER (some reconciliation was done beforehand). I'm afraid that most of these records still require 'cleaning' and linking to events and sources and I can't see it being done until I get a pot of money/student/volunteer to sort it out.

Having done a bit of reconciliation, I don't think that the cross referencing was a great deal of help. I didn't use it at all as I was doing a 10% sample and just went through the records in order. Perhaps as part of a bigger project it would make sense to look at the cross referenced sites as you might be able to eliminate records that are identical quickly. Otherwise, mapping (in the cartographic sense) is the way to go.

I would agree with that. Another question regarding option 3 (sorry if someone's already asked/answered) - would the proposed website for the NRHE data have a map based element? This would make it much easier to cross reference records.

I haven't done any test reconciliations, and have no idea of the scale of data we would be looking at for us, but I would have thought that cross referencing first would largely be a duplication of effort! If going down the process of cross referencing, you may as well just update the HER record at the same time?

Following on from this Nick and definitely project related! - Did those of you who have been undertaking some test reconciliation of records (yourself, Chris, Graham and Ben) find it easier or quicker if records already had been cross referenced with NRHE? Or did it make no difference? Would cross referencing need to be undertaken by HERs in advance of a solution like option 3 to make the project easier? all the best Sarah Sarah MacLean Heritage Information Partnerships Supervisor English Heritage ________________________________ Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail Hartlepool Council On the Web www.hartlepool.gov.uk<http://www.hartlepool.gov.uk> On Facebook www.facebook.com/hartlepoolcouncil<http://www.facebook.com/hartlepoolcouncil> On Twitter www.twitter.com/HpoolCouncil<http://www.twitter.com/HpoolCouncil> ********************************************************************************************** This document is strictly confidential and is intended only for the use by the addressee.
