Corporate GIS (Geographical Information Systems)

The Corporate GIS Team manages, supports and provides training for English Heritage’s GIS systems (webGIS and deskGIS) including project work associated with upgrading and developing these systems.

 The team’s responsible for managing, licensing and updating the corporate GIS Database, which includes data supplied through the Pan Government Agreement. This role includes supplying non-EH  (e.g. Ordnance Survey and SeaZone) data for English Heritage (EH) projects and providing guidance to all EH staff on copyright issues.

The team also takes the lead on promoting GIS and geographic information (GI), developing GI standards and providing advice on the use of GIS and GI both internally and externally.
 
EH has recently invested significant resource into our Corporate GIS systems and in 2007 English Heritage was awarded the Premier Award at the ESRI UK Excellence Awards.
