SummaryThe overall aim of the present project is to offer a way for school-children, students and interested members of the public to engage with a number of facets of Britain's medieval past, its language, manuscripts, and the clothing worn by the royal family and nobility. Specifically, the proposal is to offer an attractive and accessible entry point to the resources of the project Lexis of Cloth and Clothing in Britain c. 700-1450: origins, identifications, context and change (LexP). This was a major five-year research project that received funding from the AHRC in 2006 for a trans-disciplinary study with the purpose of collecting together the terms for medieval dress and textiles in use in the British Isles across the Middle Ages in the form of a searchable database, illustrated by images of clothing from manuscript art and statues.A new entry point into the LexP will be provided through a website which will include brief descriptions and summaries of manuscripts of the Royal Wardrobe accounts for the reigns of Edward I, Edward II and Edward III. These are documents which record the textiles bought to make the clothing (manufactured in Britain or imported) and the garments that were made out of them, together with the costs and the payments to tailors, embroiderers, button-makers, etc. The summaries will be accompanied by an index to all words for cloth and clothing in the accounts and information about these words will be provided via links to the LexP database. There will also be links to records of cloth and clothing in Discovery, The National Archives' catalogue. The new project's website will also feature images of the manuscripts held in The National Archives so people can see the handwriting and gain a sense of the look of these medieval documents. In addition, the website will include an artist's impressions of the clothing described in the Royal Wardrobe accounts and images of the royal family, to compare the clothes worn by modern royals for state occasions with those worn in the Middle Ages.A further aim of the project is to produce a guide to the clothing and textiles in the records held at The National Archives. This treasure store of manuscripts is freely available to the public, but again, an entry point is needed to make the information contained in the manuscripts accessible and to instil a sense of ownership in this heritage.

本项目的总体目标是为学童、学生和感兴趣的公众提供一种方式，让他们了解英国中世纪的过去、语言、手稿以及皇家和贵族所穿的服装。具体而言，该建议是提供一个有吸引力的和可访问的切入点，在英国的布和服装词汇项目的资源。700-1450：起源，识别，上下文和变化（LexP）。这是一个重要的五年研究项目，2006年获得AHRC的资助，进行跨学科研究，目的是以可搜索数据库的形式收集中世纪不列颠群岛使用的中世纪服装和纺织品的术语，由手稿艺术和雕像的服装图像说明。一个新的入口点到LexP将通过一个网站，其中将包括简要描述和摘要的手稿的皇家衣柜帐户的统治爱德华一世，爱德华二世和爱德华三世。这些文件记录了用于制造服装的纺织品（在英国制造或进口）和用它们制成的服装，以及成本和对裁缝，刺绣商，纽扣制造商等的付款。摘要将附有帐户中所有布料和服装单词的索引，有关这些单词的信息将通过链接到LexP数据库提供。还将有链接到发现，国家档案馆的目录布和服装的记录。这个新项目的网站还将展示国家档案馆保存的手稿的图像，这样人们就可以看到这些手稿的笔迹，并对这些中世纪文件的外观有一个了解。此外，该网站还将包括一位艺术家对皇家衣橱和皇家图像中描述的服装的印象，以比较现代皇室成员在国家场合所穿的衣服与中世纪所穿的衣服。该项目的另一个目的是制作一份关于国家档案馆记录中的服装和纺织品的指南。这个手稿宝库是免费向公众开放的，但同样，需要一个切入点，使手稿中包含的信息可以访问，并在这一遗产中灌输一种主人翁意识。
