项目摘要

Knowledge of climate change has tended to remain in the scientific realm. Yet it is not only advances in science but local observations and experiences in nature and oral histories that can prove useful in helping to conceptualise and understand how weather and its variations affect and have affected people at the local level. Local, lay or 'experiential' weather is assuming new importance as a legitimate source of knowledge, and communication of climate change risk is thought to be more effective and appropriately targeted if it takes into account these relevant personal and vicarious experiences in the form of narrative, memories and anecdotes. One way to achieve a (re)engagement of people with climate is by inviting them to reflect on their local weather (past and present). Our proposed follow-on activity will be organised around the theme of weather memory and will capitalise on opportunities that have emerged from the original Care for the Future funded project. We will use the research material now gathered in the TEMPEST database (c. 18,000 event records) i) to develop the design of user interface on TEMPEST and produce a short tutorial/demonstration video, ii) to write a series of place-specific historical weather stories and collate these in the form of a research guide, iii) to support the development of a 'tour ready' version of 'The Storm Officer'. Each output is public-facing and will be widely circulated in print/ on line using existing project communication channels, those of the Archives and Records Association, and at the public events that lie at the heart of this follow-on activity. The overall aim is to demonstrate TEMPEST's utility among a range of users and to engage people with local weather memory and heritage. Through a formal partnership with the Archives and Records Association and return visits to a number of the Local Government Record Offices (LGROs) and National Collections from which we have drawn both materials and research advice, we hope to inform staff and archive users of our findings and to highlight the utility of their collections for weather history, identifying possible actions for future cataloguing and collecting practice and volunteer-led projects. The place-specific story guide will be available for the LGROs to use and will be designed to enable and encourage each archival repository to identify new connections with other collections and archival repositories within and across regions. The research team will also work alongside poet and writer Matt Black and his creative team to develop a 'tour ready' version of 'The Storm Officer'. Matt's first play was inspired by the contents of the TEMPEST database and previewed in March 2017. Five new performances (all free to attend) will be staged during the period of the follow-on. The locations for the performances have been chosen to match those where rich documentary weather heritages have already been explored by the project team. Each will involve direct engagement with weather histories specific to the place of performance, drawing on the research material already collected by the researchers and now held in the TEMPEST database. Live performances will be enriched through researcher led pre-show workshops that will focus on the archival materials available for weather history in that particular place (using the place-specific weather stories and video as starting points), as well as recent experiences of extreme weather. Connections will also be made between the performance and the relevant LGRO and their resources, with staff and volunteers from the LGRO invited to participate in the workshop and attend the performance.Each element of the Follow-on activity involves creative engagement with non-academic audiences and user communities to stimulate new pathways to impact for the original research, and will expand the utility of research output for a range of new audiences, adding significant value to previous activity.

关于气候变化的知识往往停留在科学领域。然而，不仅是科学的进步，而且当地对自然和口述历史的观察和经验，可以证明有助于概念化和理解天气及其变化如何影响和影响当地人民。当地、非专业或“经验性”天气作为一种合法的知识来源正发挥着新的重要作用，人们认为，如果以叙述、记忆和轶事的形式考虑到这些相关的个人和替代性经验，气候变化风险的宣传就会更有效，更有针对性。实现人们与气候（重新）接触的一种方法是邀请他们反思当地的天气（过去和现在）。我们建议的后续活动将围绕天气记忆的主题组织，并将利用从最初的“关心未来”资助项目中出现的机会。我们将使用现在收集在TEMPEST数据库中的研究材料（c。18，000个事件记录）i）开发TEMPEST用户界面的设计，并制作一个简短的教程/演示录像; ii）编写一系列特定地方的历史天气故事，并以研究指南的形式整理这些故事; iii）支持开发一个“可供旅游”的版本“风暴制造者”。每项产出都是面向公众的，将利用现有的项目沟通渠道、档案和记录协会的渠道以及作为后续活动核心的公共活动，以印刷品/在线方式广泛传播。总体目标是在一系列用户中展示TEMPEST的实用性，并让人们参与当地天气记忆和遗产。通过与档案和记录协会的正式合作伙伴关系，以及对一些地方政府档案局（LGROs）和国家收藏的回访，我们从中获得了材料和研究建议，我们希望将我们的发现告知工作人员和档案用户，并强调他们的收藏对天气历史的实用性，确定今后编目和收集实践和志愿人员主导项目的可能行动。将向地方政府区域办事处提供针对具体地点的故事指南，以供使用，其目的是使每个档案库能够并鼓励每个档案库确定与区域内和跨区域的其他收藏和档案库的新联系。该研究团队还将与诗人兼作家马特·布莱克及其创意团队合作，开发一个“旅游准备”版本的“风暴使者”。马特的第一部戏剧的灵感来自于TEMPEST数据库的内容，并于2017年3月预览。在接下去的日子里，将有五场全新的表演（全部免费），地点是配合计划小组已发掘丰富天气纪录文物的地点而选定的。每一个都将涉及直接参与特定于表演地点的天气历史，利用研究人员已经收集的研究材料，现在保存在TEMPEST数据库中。现场表演将通过研究人员领导的展前研讨会来丰富，这些研讨会将重点放在该特定地方的天气历史档案材料上（使用特定地方的天气故事和视频作为起点），以及最近的极端天气经历。表演还将与相关LGRO及其资源建立联系，邀请LGRO的工作人员和志愿者参加研讨会并观看表演。后续活动的每个元素都涉及与非学术观众和用户社区的创造性参与，以激发影响原始研究的新途径，并将扩大研究成果对一系列新的受众的效用，为以前的活动增加重要价值。
