Part of the data collection included photography, and these images were developed as 35mm slides. Over the 20 years, 50,000 images were taken, catalogued and stored as a reference collection. This collection is becoming increasing valuable as reference material and as a baseline for monitoring. Now we have moved into a digital world, we need to ensure these images are mobilised and made openly available. In order to: • Secure storage going forward as acetate film will deteriorate over time; • Ensure we can make the images widely available to the public as part of our open data policy; • JNCC is taking the first steps in reducing costs and becoming a paperless office, therefore there is a desire to move away from physically stored material. The slides are of varying quality with a varying level of metadata and lineage. An initial filter of the slides has identified roughly 22,000 slides with full provenance and metadata. There exist another ~20,000 slides, which are not as well catalogued that JNCC will endeavour to curate, and there is therefore the potential for follow-on work for the successful contractor to cover this subsequent tranche of slides.
