项目摘要

Dissenting Academies Online: Virtual Library System forms part of a major research project on the history of the dissenting academies in the British Isles, 1660-1860, managed by the Dr Williams's Centre for Dissenting Studies. The earliest dissenting academies were established after the Restoration as a result of the 1662 Act of Uniformity, and were intended to provide Protestant students dissenting from the Church of England with a higher education similar to that at Oxford and Cambridge, from which they were largely excluded. Their main purpose was to prepare candidates for the ministry, but many educated lay students as well. The tutors and students at the academies contributed in fundamental ways to the development of ideas, notably in the fields of theology, philosophy, literature, and science. In the course of the nineteenth century the academies' original purpose was largely superseded by the founding of London University and the provincial universities, which were open to dissenters, and by the eventual reform of Oxford and Cambridge. The surviving academies were transformed into denominational training colleges for ministerial candidates. The Dissenting Academies Project will have two outcomes: A History of the Dissenting Academies in the British Isles, 1660-1860, a multi-authored book in preparation, and Dissenting Academies Online, two fully searchable databases already published on the Dr Williams's Centre website. The second database, the AHRC-funded Virtual Library System, uses modern library software to recreate virtual historic libraries from surviving library catalogues and loan records. The libraries included are those of Bristol Baptist College, Manchester College (largely Unitarian) in Manchester and York, and the Congregational Colleges of Mile End and Homerton in London. Users can search for particular titles or authors; browse the shelves of an academy library; compare the holdings of different libraries; and browse, search, and sort students' loan records. They can learn about the acquisition and use of books in dissenting education, and the impact that books had on the students' intellectual formation. The VLS has already been recognised as an important and innovative resource, the first of its kind, which will transform our understanding of the circulation of books and ideas in dissenting education and establish a model for future work with historic libraries. In the course of the Library project far more archival material was uncovered than could be entered into the database. The VLS includes more data on the Baptist and Unitarian academies than on the Congregational ones, and only Congregational academies in the London area are represented. The aims of the follow-on project on the Northern Congregational College, Manchester, are to enlarge the original database to include the libraries of Congregational colleges in Yorkshire and Lancashire, to extend the date up to the twentieth century, and to enter provenance details of individual books for the first time. The project will show how a twentieth-century denominational library developed through a process of acquisition, donation, inheritance, and transfer from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries, and how books moved from private to educational use, thereby demonstrating the strength of Congregationalism in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Yorkshire and Lancashire. The project has a number of applications and benefits: it will engage those currently training Congregational ministers in their own heritage and educational history; it will provide a model for librarians and book historians for recovering information about dispersed and lost book collections; it will show contemporary private libraries how they can make their own historic library collections searchable online through the model of the VLS; and it will introduce religious, educational, social, library, and book historians to a new way of researching the history of reading.

在线反对学院：虚拟图书馆系统是由威廉姆斯博士的异议研究中心管理的关于1660-1860年不列颠群岛异议学院历史的主要研究项目的一部分。最早的反对派学院是在复辟后根据1662年的《统一法案》建立的，旨在为反对英国国教的新教学生提供类似于牛津和剑桥的高等教育，他们基本上被排除在外。他们的主要目的是为牧师准备候选人，但也有许多受过教育的外行学生。学院的导师和学生对思想的发展做出了根本性的贡献，特别是在神学、哲学、文学和科学领域。在世纪的过程中，学院的最初目的在很大程度上被伦敦大学和地方大学的建立所取代，这些大学对持不同政见者开放，并最终被牛津和剑桥的改革所取代。幸存的学院被改造成部长候选人的国家培训学院。持不同意见的学院项目将有两个结果：在不列颠群岛持不同意见的学院的历史，1660年至1860年，一个多作者的书在准备中，和持不同意见的学院在线，两个完全可搜索的数据库已经在博士威廉姆斯的中心网站上公布。第二个数据库是由美国人权委员会资助的虚拟图书馆系统，它使用现代图书馆软件，从现存的图书馆目录和借阅记录中重建虚拟的历史图书馆。图书馆包括那些布里斯托浸会学院，曼彻斯特学院（主要是一神论）在曼彻斯特和约克，以及公理学院的英里端和霍默顿在伦敦。用户可以搜索特定的书名或作者;浏览学院图书馆的书架;比较不同图书馆的馆藏;浏览、搜索和排序学生的借阅记录。他们可以了解在反对教育中书籍的获得和使用，以及书籍对学生智力形成的影响。VLS已经被公认为是一种重要的创新资源，这是同类中的第一个，它将改变我们对异议教育中书籍和思想流通的理解，并为未来与历史图书馆的合作建立一个模式。在图书馆项目过程中，发现的档案材料远远超过可以输入数据库的数量。VLS包括更多关于浸信会和一神论学院的数据，而不是公理学院，只有伦敦地区的公理学院有代表性。关于曼彻斯特北方公理会学院的后续项目的目的是扩大原始数据库，将约克郡和兰开夏郡的公理会学院图书馆包括在内，将日期延长到二十世纪，并首次输入个别书籍的出处细节。该项目将展示如何通过收购，捐赠，继承和转让的过程中，从十七世纪到二十世纪的二十世纪，以及如何从私人书籍转移到教育用途，从而展示了公理在十九世纪和二十世纪约克郡和兰开夏郡的力量。该项目有若干用途和好处：它将使目前正在培训公理会牧师的人了解他们自己的遗产和教育历史;它将为图书管理员和图书历史学家提供一个恢复关于分散和丢失的藏书的信息的模式;它将向当代私人图书馆展示如何通过虚拟图书馆系统的模式在线搜索他们自己的历史图书馆藏书;它将向宗教、教育、社会、图书馆和图书历史学家介绍一种研究阅读历史的新方法。
