>> 
>> Thank you for your reply to Seb, my vice president. In reply to your question about specific skills, we do not believe our project requires someone with a specific technical background. We have looked at the register you sent and do not know if anyone on your list would be affordable for our budget. And so we are hoping to find a level 1 historian available for a week's worth of work.
>> 
>> A draft would be needed within the next six weeks, including a night of interviewing our club members at our 50th Anniversary Dinner on Saturday the 21st of September, 6pm. The historians ticket and dinner would of course be covered by us.
>> 
>> In regards to your question about sources, we have a previous 25th anniversary manuscript draft (previously attached), but we have a table of content we would like to be included in your 50th manuscript draft. This table includes:
>> - Record of committee members
>> - Why the club was founded
>> - Brief timeline
>> - History of awards and prominent members
>> - Chronologically history via decades
>> - Major events we have and will run
>> - Interviews we would like to be conducted at our dinner
>> 
>> We have an email questionnaire prepared and will send the historian the answers, as well as the information we already have such as committee member names. We also have a folder of images that we would like the historian to choose from as they see fit to add to the manuscript.
>> 
>> To recap: We (the club) are turning 50 years old this year, and we were hoping to have a manuscript written, detailing our club's history. When we turned 25, we commissioned a 10,000 word piece telling our history (attached). We were hoping to have another manuscript made, roughly the same size - updating the last 25 years.

>> Hi Seb,
>> Thanks for getting in touch with our organisation and we will certainly do our best to assist you.
>> It is good that you have a clear set of parameters for the project. A word limit and a defined budget is very helpful for any prospective historian.
>> 
>> Given the nature of your club do you think the person to write the history would need any specific knowledge or skills. 
>> Have you had a look at our Register of consultants to see if there is someone there who may suit. Perhaps you’ve already looked there?

>> 
>> Also have a look over the Model Contract for any other issues that you may not have considered, a time frame is also useful to know.
>> One other thing is what sources would be available to compile the history.  Is it just admin records, or potentially interviewing members.
>> 
>> Perhaps you could put together a bit more of a description of the project and your expectations which we can then review prior to circulating.
>> 
>> Look forward to hearing from you
