We hold many major collections of national importance covering archaeology, architecture, social and local history. The archive collections include photographs, drawings, plans and documents In 2008/9, English Heritage set up an E-commerce project with the aim of testing the potential for selling images through 3rd parties with already established, specialist audiences. It was also seen as a way of testing the resource requirements of supplying images and data to a 3rd party and the desirability of our collections and images for third party suppliers. During 2016, the Archive has carried out an internal review which aimed to deliver the following; * A clear understanding of the value and purpose of the Archive within Historic England * An achievable plan to increase access * An indication of the scope and means to increase income and external funding As a result of this review we are now looking for a consultant to carry out research to help us understand our position in the market place and to identify opportunities which have the potential to generate income for us.
