Description

The project will involve undertaking a comprehensive analysis of SSSI citations to correctly interpret and establish a legally sound list of notified features.  Two worked examples are provided in Annex 1, the text in these examples is for reference only to depict how conclusions were made, it is anticipated that the outputs the successful Contractor provides will be in a spreadsheet format. Please note, some citations will be easier than the examples, and others more complex. Natural England will provide guidance on award of contract to assist with the interpretation of the citations and ensure a consistent approach is taken across sites.<br/>When listing the identified features of a site this should be expressed in simple and brief terms, as written in the citation. There is no need to alter the wording or to fit the features into pre-defined categories such as National Vegetation Classification (NVC) or Common Standards Monitoring classifications.

Context for the Brief We are seeking an experienced paper conservator or collections specialist to support the assessment, conservation, and long-term care of our paper-based collections during the Development and Delivery Phases of the 'Tides of Change' project - subject to a successful Delivery Phase award. Our paper-based collections include works on paper (drawings, watercolours, and prints), photographs, maps, documents, certificates, and archival materials. A key component is the Robert Wood Collection, named after local historian Robert Wood, who compiled over 40,000 items of historical printed ephemera. These include posters, memorial cards, advertisements, and business stationery salvaged from local printers. The collection provides vital insight into Hartlepool's social, commercial, and civic life from the 19th century onward. Due to their fragility and cultural significance, items within this collection require assessment, conservation, and in some cases facsimile reproduction to enable future display and access.
