Hi Ed and everyone else, I work in cultural resource management, managing the historic environment record (HER) for Greater London. Prior to this I've worked in other HERs in England, and for the Council for British Research in the Levant in Jordan and Syria.
What is your interest in Arches? I'm working on a project with the GCI and another English HER to develop a new heritage management system using Arches that we and other HERs could use. In London we are keen to extend use of the HER beyond just the GLHER team, but out to our colleagues in the London boroughs, to heritage professionals, and to the general public, whether for interest or as volunteers. I've used relational databases and ArcGIS, but I think open source systems have a lot of potential, and they are something I've not used before. Where am I working? Usually in Holborn, in the Historic England London Office, but to day at home in Sittingbourne, Kent What can I see out of the window? I can see what's left of my vegetable patch after the slugs have munched their way through it. Heritage wise, If I had x-ray vision and could see through my dining room wall I would be looking at the Grade II listed former Borden School, and before that agricultural college, and in the evenings, when the wind is in the right direction I can hear the bells of St Peter & St Paul's Borden ( https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1185731). Sorry for the short hello, but the school pick-up run beckons!
