HER21: Worcester City Historic Buildings Data - EH project 6004 - Project Report
J Dinn
S J Payne
This project aimed to digitally capture Worcester City Council's historic building application records dating from 1866-1947 and assimilate them into the Worcester City Historic Environment Record. This was to enable fully-searchable (GIS-based) access to an important but under-used dataset to be provided to a broad spectrum of users. It will allow local authority conservation, archaeological and planning officers to develop an enhanced understanding of Worcester's historic built fabric, further enabling its informed and intelligent management through plan-making and development management. Fragile records were digitally preserved and the need to use the original documents removed. The methodology was documented to assist others considering the capture and integration of similar datasets, and the costs, uses and benefits of the project considered, alongside such issues as copyright. The project builds on datasets currently held by WCHER to provide an enhanced level of historic buildings data for all heritage assets: listed buildings, buildings within (and making a positive contribution to) conservation areas, buildings of local significance, and undesignated buildings. The evidence base will also support the eventual implementation of HPR. The project team includes an HER Officer, Archaeological Officer and Conservation Officer, as well as Worcestershire Record Office's Digitisation Officer. An advisory panel forming the regular external point of consultation for the project (principally consisting of local government partners and English Heritage) also includes Worcester City Council's Planning Manager and Worcestershire Record Office's Archives Manager. Volunteer input was utilized, both in the initial validation of existing building application indexes and in a later sampling of the data for assessment of building survival.
