Format: Packs of photographs, A4 in size, with an image on one side and information for users on the other ,including details of the photograph (date, location, associated people and a narrative where appropriate etc.) and prompts for users in the form of questions.

Each pack would also have an introduction card with ideas for using the cards.

Additionally each pack would be made available as a PDF for download from a partner website.

Number of images in each pack: There would be a minimum of 20 images per pack. The main timeline would be 1950s, 60s and 70s but for future proofing, supplementary 1980s/90s images if available should be included.

Number of original packs: One for each locality (10 in total) One for each over-arching theme (15 in total)

Tasks for the freelancer Work with public resources in North and (and other resources physical and digital as appropriate) to research and source images for each pack, acquiring and providing evidence of full image rights for every image for the purposes outlined above.

Deliver packs ready for design and print as edited, correctly sized, labelled and formatted images. Text will be edited, including any permission credits and logos, appropriately filed and labelled.
