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

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.

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.
Many thanks,
Nina
