About

Historic England Archive is seeking a supplier with lived experience of an underrepresented community to help surface hidden histories and highlight gaps in its collections and catalogues. The Archive holds over 15 million items relating to England’s archaeological, architectural and social heritage, dating from the 1850s to the present day, and is working to increase inclusion and diversity in its collections and catalogues. To be eligible applicants must have lived experience of the community, group or theme they wish to explore, and proposals should outline the ideas for surfacing hidden histories; the brief is open to interpretation.
