Bringing Landscape to Life: Environmental Histories at Sheringham Park 1812-2012

有了额外资源，我们提议开展以下活动：影响评估：最初项目的主要成果是2012年9月在谢林厄姆公园开幕的展览。有了额外的资源，项目团队将返回谢林厄姆，并开展工作，以评估展览和更广泛的研究项目对谢林厄姆公园的游客体验以及国家信托基金与学术研究的关系的影响。这项工作将采取游客调查、参与者观察和制订衡量影响的创造性方法，以及审查新闻报道和反应以及总结经验教训的形式。评估结果将提供给AHRC和项目合作伙伴National Trust。1812年制作的红皮书：Humphry Repton为Sheringham Park制作的红皮书的数字化从一开始就是原始项目的重点。额外的资源将使数字化版本(已经拍摄)能够在线提供(通过国家信托网站)，以及额外的支持材料，为雷普顿的研究人员、设计的景观和花园历史提供宝贵的资源。在线展览：数字化、基于网络的红皮书将伴随谢林汉公园展览的在线改编版本。PDRA Lucy Veale将受雇(为期2个月)协调上述活动。她将得到谢林厄姆公园工作人员派·斯蒂芬·丹尼尔斯和国家信托基金对外事务副主任本·考尔的指导。关键里程碑项目延期将于2013年1月1日开始。由于展览将持续到2013年8月(此后没有立即拆除的计划)，主要的影响评估将在6月和7月进行(届时将使用PDRA)，以便从开幕起有足够的时间进行影响(对公园的游客和合作伙伴组织National Trust)。这段时间也恰逢公园参观人数的高峰期，因此可以最大限度地评估展览的影响，以及它的功能和耐用性。然而，记录新闻报道和反应的工作将从2013年1月开始进行。基于网络的资源将逐步积累，直到2013年7月底项目完成。当前项目的附加值已经大大超过了小组关于在6个月内可以实现的预期。展览规模和范围的扩大增加了谢林厄姆项目的影响，概述的额外资源将使我们能够在适当的时候评估这种影响对参观者和国家信托基金的影响的程度和性质，使项目的成功和实现其最初目标的程度得以严格确定。这一结果将为未来的研究提供有用的模型，以供遵循或避免，并将产生AHRC、学者、国家信托基金、展览设计师丑陋工作室和其他潜在合作组织感兴趣的发现。尽管展览是免费进入的，但谢林厄姆公园位于北诺福克海岸的位置不可避免地限制了观众规模。在线互补性展览将扩大受众范围，而完全数字化和可免费获取的红皮书版本将成为学术研究和感兴趣的广大公众的宝贵资源。目前，人们对雷普顿和他的作品重新产生了兴趣，特别是当他设计的风景继续在地面上消失的时候。谢林厄姆的红皮书被广泛认为是他工作的最佳范例之一，使其成为完全数字化的理想候选者。谢林厄姆公园的工作人员表示，数字化的红皮书将是网站上的一个极好的资源，并支持根据他们自己的游客满意度调查进行的影响评估。

With additional resources we propose to undertake the following activities:Impact Assessment: The main output of the original project was an exhibition at Sheringham Park which opened in September 2012. With the additional resources the project team will return to Sheringham and undertake work to assess the impact of the exhibition and the wider research project, on both the visitor experience at Sheringham Park, and on the National Trust's relationship with academic research. The work will take the format of visitor surveys, participant observation and the formulation of creative ways to measure impact, as well as a review of press coverage and reaction, and a summary of lessons learned. The results of the assessment will be made available to both AHRC and project partner National Trust.Digitization of Red Book: Humphry Repton's Red Book for Sheringham Park, produced in 1812 was, from the outset, the focus of the original project. Additional resources will enable the digitized version (already photographed) to be made available online (through the National Trust website), alongside additional supporting material, producing a valuable resource for researchers of Repton, designed landscapes, and garden history. Online exhibition: The digitised, web-based Red Book will be accompanied by an online adapted version of the exhibition at Sheringham Park.The PDRA Lucy Veale would be employed (for a period of 2 months) to coordinate the above activities. She will be mentored by PI Stephen Daniels, staff at Sheringham Park and National Trust Deputy Director of External Affairs Ben Cowell.Key MilestonesThe project extension will begin on 1st January 2013. As the exhibition runs until August 2013 (with no immediate plans for its removal after that date), the main assessment of impact will take place in June and July (when the PDRA will be employed) to allow sufficient time to have elapsed from the opening for an impact to have been made (both on visitors to the park, and on partner organisation National Trust). This period also coincides with a peak time regarding visitor numbers to the Park, thus allowing maximum assessment of the impact of the exhibition, as well as its functionality and durability. However, work to record press coverage and reaction will be ongoing from January 2013.The web-based resources will be gradually built up until the completion of the project at the end of July 2013.Added Value to Current ProjectOutputs from the current project have already greatly exceeded the team's expectations regarding what could be achieved in a 6 month period. The expansion of the exhibition's size and scope increased the impact of the project at Sheringham and the additional resources outlined would enable us to assess the level and character of this impact on both visitors and the National Trust at an appropriate time, enabling the success of the project and the extent to which it achieved its original aims, to be critically determined. The outcome will provide useful models for future research to follow or avoid, and will produce findings of interest to AHRC, academics, National Trust, exhibition designers Ugly Studios and other potential partner organisations.Although the exhibition is free to enter, the location of Sheringham Park on the North Norfolk coast inevitably limits audience size. An online complementary exhibition would broaden the audience, whilst a fully digitized and freely accessible version of the Red Book would serve as a valuable resource for academic research as well as interested members of the wider public. There is currently renewed interest in Repton and his work, particularly as the landscapes he designed continue to disappear on the ground. The Red Book for Sheringham widely regarded as amongst the finest examples of his work, making it an ideal candidate for full digitization. Staff at Sheringham Park have expressed that the digitized Red Book would be 'a terrific resource to have on the website' and are supportive of the proposed assessment of impact, in line with their own visitor satisfaction surveys.
