Creating the 'Mix-d Museum': developing an online archive to share knowledge on the history of 'mixed race' Britain

该提案旨在开发一个研究网络，以探索英国少数民族历史知识的翻译-特别是与“混血”人，夫妇和家庭有关的知识-使用创造性和创新的数字方法。在学术界（伦敦南岸大学/肯特大学）和第三部门（Mix-d）之间建立合作，该项目提出了关于英国少数民族历史的可见性和可及性的一般问题，并询问如何更好地看待和分享这一领域的知识。这些问题将通过一个小型研究项目“创建“混合博物馆”来具体解决并进行实践和创造性的探索。这将涉及为年轻人和学校开发一个交互式在线档案，该档案的基础是英国科学院资助的一个关于20世纪英国种族混合和混杂的项目的研究成果。拟议的研究合作和由此产生的活动探讨了数字时代学术知识的交流，文化记忆和身份的共享和所有权，以及提高获取和创造力的新工作方式的发展。

This proposal seeks to develop a research network to explore the translation of knowledge on minority ethnic history in Britain - specifically that relating to 'mixed race' people, couples and families - using creative and innovative digital methods. Building collaborations between academics (London South Bank University/University of Kent) and the third sector (Mix-d), the project raises general questions about the visibility and accessibility of minority ethnic history in Britain and asks how knowledge in this field can be better viewed and shared. These questions will be addressed specifically and explored practically and creatively through a small research project: 'Creating the 'Mix-d Museum'. This will involve the development of an interactive online archive for young people and schools based on research findings from a British Academy funded project on racial mixing and mixedness in 20th century Britain.The proposed research collaboration and the activities emerging from it examines communication of academic knowledge in a digital age, the sharing and ownership of cultural memory and identity and the development of new ways of working to enhance access and creativity.
