Site Event/Activity record ECH6213 - NRHE to HER Concordance

This project builds on the work undertaken by the “Data supply and Reconciliation between NRHE and HERs” project, carried-out under Historic England’s National Heritage Protection Commissions Programme. The project researched and discussed the issues that would be involved in supplying NRHE data to HERs and the reconciliation necessary to achieve this. Wide consultation with HER Officers and other interested parties took place. There was overwhelming support to undertake this process, and a broad consensus on how best to do this. A range of possible solutions was evaluated, including a) fully automated import, b) managed/supervised import, and c) manual accessioning. The favoured method was manual accessioning assisted by web-based resources. This would enable HER staff to add the NRHE data to the HER through their normal user interfaces, copying from a definitive web-based view of the NRHE data, and each NRHE record would be signed off and correlated with HER record identifiers. This project's aims and objectives are to: •Develop a working prototype (this website) to demonstrate a practical working system that will allow NRHE data to be incorporated within HERs via the preferred method regardless of their software platform. •Test the prototype with real use across a representative range of data and HERs in order to identify additions/changes needed for full production use. •Use the same testing exercise to assess more accurately the resources needed to transition data from the NRHE to HERs. •Develop recommendations for a subsequent implementation and transition plan. https://nrhe-to-her.esdm.co.uk/home
