Hi Nina, The attached document "Historic Environment Record Services and Research Projects in England" has been written by the ALGAO-UK HER Committee for English projects, to give a background for academics planning to undertake research projects using data from HERs. I hope that (at least initially) helps. Best regards, Graham -- Graham Tait Secretary ALGAO-UK HER Committee -- Archaeologist Historic Environment Team | Devon County Council Lucombe House | County Hall | Exeter | EX2 4QD Telephone: 01392 382214 | Email: [log in to unmask] Web: http://www.devon.gov.uk/historicenvironment | Twitter: @DevonHistEnv<https://twitter.com/DevonHistEnv> Disclaimer: http://www.devon.gov.uk/email p.s. I am currently trying to get the ALGAO Executive committee to allow access to this document to all on the ALGAO website - but we are still waiting on that to happen. When that does, I'll post the link here. From: Nina Steele [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 17 December 2014 15:11 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [HERFORUM] Academic research projects and HERs Dear all, I was wondering if anyone might be able to share their experiences with regard to the provision of data for academic projects and the re-integration of resultant data. In particular I have 3 principal questions: 1) Do you charge for the provision of data? If so, would you charge the rate normally applied to commercial contractors for a standard HER search? 2) Do you charge specifically for re-integrating the resultant data at the end of a project? 3) Would you consider applying additional charges for extra services such as advice at start-up regarding database design (to facilitate re-integration); more intensive interrogation of HER database/collections/associated resources to add value to research, or; on-going liaison with researchers? We have been recently mulling these questions over and would be keen to see a more standardised approach to academic projects - they often seem to be somewhat removed from HERs and in our opinion this shouldn't be the case.
