Description

The Council requires provision of a technically robust, web-based, hosted software solution to provide an interface between the Gateshead Archive digital collections and interactive hardware located at Gateshead Central Library. This includes large touch tables or kiosks, presentation screens, and desktop computers used for research.

The software solution must provide a design interface that is fully customisable to present stories about the history of Gateshead including digitised content from the Gateshead Archive collections.

The Council also requires an externally hosted server space to store our digital collection. Our collection is comprised of a range of digitised archival files including: photographs, maps, newspapers, scrapbooks and historic electoral registers, curated by Gateshead Council and Libraries. Some of this digitised content (primarily photographs) is currently hosted internally on servers located within Gateshead Council. Other material will be digitised over time from summer 2019. The maps will be available to upload from the Landmark Mapping Service and can either be uploaded from DVD or from existing Council servers. The server space to be provided by the supplier must be hosted in either the Cloud or a Data Centre.
