About

Historic England awarded a contract to Sam Paul Heritage for an options appraisal of costing models for the transfer and deposition of archaeological archives with collecting museums and repositories.

The project investigated alternatives to the current per-storage-unit charging approach, including charging a percentage of overall project cost, and determined the optimum charge per archive unit if that model were adopted.

The work was undertaken in the context of plans for a national archaeological archive store and resource centre expected to sustain itself on income from archive transfers.

The main deliverable was a report summarising possible charging models, their strengths and weaknesses, and recommendations.

The contract value was AUD 27,304.
