This programme aims to sustain longer-standing collaborations between UoN researchers with non-academic historians and archaeologists, build on recently-launched projects, and foster the emergence of new community groups researching their own heritage. The distinctive features of the qualities of the programme include the cross-fertilization between community archaeology and community history; the long run of expertise offered by academics involved from Roman times to the present; the combination of a regional focus with wider connections beyond the region; and the depth of experience working with community groups offered by senior and early career researchers in the team.The programme will benefit from strong institutional support from the UoN including the Centre for Advanced Studies, the University Museum and the Community Partnerships team. It will also draw on the UoN's non-HEI partners including Nottingham City Museums and Galleries, Nottinghamshire Archives, Durban House (Broxtowe Borough Council), National Trust, Norfolk Museum Service, Derbyshire VCH Trust, Southwell Town Council, and York Archaeological Trust/Trent & Peak Archaeology.The proposed programme will be delivered by a team of academics involved in a portfolio of flagship projects involving community-based research in local history and archaeology. These include: 1. Caistor Roman Town project, running since 2008 (Bowden): volunteer groups undertake large sections of the project's archaeological field work and finds processing.2. Southwell archaeology project: established in 2011 (King, Bowden and others), co-designed with Southwell Community Archaeology Group; distinctive for its use of the town and environs as a laboratory for examining settlement in the context of the written record.3. Southwell Workhouse (Badcock, Carter, Newman) collaboration between UoN and National Trust established 2011: current project includes work with volunteers in Southwell Workhouse Research Group collating data on Poor Law history from 19c newspapers.4. Victoria County History Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire (Riden): local groups (three in Derbyshire, one in Notts) work with guidance and support of tutor on source material for their chosen parish and co-draft text suitable for publication on the VCH website.5. Coalmining heritage (Amos): new project with Bilsthorpe heritage society and other ex-miners' groups seeks to document the 'end of an industry' and its impact on mining communities.6. Raleigh and Player's projects (Gaunt, Harvey): ongoing projects involving former workforces of Nottingham manufacturers that have shut down or drastically cut production.Building on these projects, the content of the activities taking place between February and November 2012 will entail:i) Project team liaison with HLF representative and NCCPEii) Launch events targeting UoN academics, raising profile of existing projects and demonstrating benefits of community research partnershipsiii) Incentivizing additional activities through the Challenge Fund as a resource for UoN academics to pitch ideas for projects involving existing community groups that could extend existing research and co-design HLF grants: up to £500 per projectiv) Roadshow events on 'Writing Our History' and 'Digging Our Past' including workshop, training and taster sessions to enable volunteers to present work and acquire new skills, attract new recruits, and broker new links between academics and volunteersv) Showcase and Project development day where Challenge Fund pilot projects presented and HLF bids mentoredvi) Follow-up workshops for HLF-funded and unfunded projects looking to future plans.The benefits of the programme will be the enhancement of existing community-based research, the fostering of new community groups and the co-design of research bids for HLF funding. In the longer term, the programme will build new capacity for academic engagement with volunteer researchers.

该计划旨在维持牛津大学研究人员与非学术历史学家和考古学家之间的长期合作，在最近启动的项目的基础上再接再厉，并促进研究自己遗产的新社区团体的出现。该计划的特点包括社区考古学和社区历史之间的相互促进；从罗马时代到现在参与的学者提供的长期专业知识；区域重点与该地区以外更广泛的联系相结合；团队中的资深和早期职业研究人员提供与社区团体合作的丰富经验。该计划将受益于来自牛津大学的强有力的机构支持，包括高级研究中心、大学博物馆和社区伙伴关系小组。它还将吸收诺丁汉市博物馆和美术馆、诺丁汉郡档案馆、德班之家(布洛克托尔区议会)、国家信托基金、诺福克博物馆服务、德比郡VCH信托基金、南威尔镇议会和约克考古信托基金/特伦特与匹克考古机构等非高等院校合作伙伴的参与。这些项目包括：1.卡斯特罗马城项目，自2008年开始运行(鲍登)：志愿者小组承担该项目的大部分考古实地工作和文物处理工作。索斯韦尔考古项目：成立于2011年(金、鲍登等人)，与索斯韦尔社区考古小组共同设计；其特点是将该镇和周围地区作为实验室，在书面记录的背景下检查定居点。Southwell Workhouse(Badcock，Carter，Newman)UON和National Trust之间的合作于2011年建立：目前的项目包括与Southwell Workhouse研究小组的志愿者合作，整理19c报纸上关于穷人法律历史的数据。维多利亚县历史德比郡和诺丁汉郡(莱登)：当地团体(三个在德比郡，一个在诺茨)在导师的指导和支持下，为他们选择的教区提供原始材料，并共同起草适合在VCH网站上发布的文本。煤矿遗产(AMOS)：与比尔索普遗产协会和其他前矿工团体合作的新项目旨在记录“一个行业的终结”及其对矿业社区的影响。罗利和玩家项目(冈特，哈维)：涉及诺丁汉制造商关闭或大幅减产的前劳动力的正在进行的项目。在这些项目的基础上，2012年2月至11月期间进行的活动的内容将包括：i)项目团队与HLF代表和NCCPEii)启动针对UON学者的活动，提高现有项目的知名度并展示社区研究伙伴关系的好处siii)通过挑战基金激励更多的活动，作为密歇根大学学者的资源，为涉及现有社区团体的项目提出想法，这些项目可以扩展现有的研究并共同设计HLF赠款：每个项目高达500 GB的路演活动，包括研讨会、培训和品尝会议，使志愿者能够展示工作并获得新技能，吸引新员工，并促成学者和志愿者之间的新联系(V)展示和项目发展日，其中介绍了挑战基金的试点项目，并为高级别基金资助和未获资助的项目举办后续讲习班，展望未来计划。该方案的好处将是加强现有的以社区为基础的研究，培养新的社区团体，并共同设计高级别基金资助的研究投标。从长远来看，该计划将建立与志愿研究人员进行学术接触的新能力。
