The research proposes to investigate how and why archives are used within exhibitions of historic art. It will study the display strategies of archivists and curators, and their objectives, as well as analyse the effects and meanings produced by these display practices. This research emerges directly from my role as Head of the Research Centre at the National Gallery and my own practice in curating, researching and interpreting archives. The project has the potential to make a valuable contribution to understanding how exhibitions are currently conceived and designed and therefore how museums mediate our cultural heritage to the public.The project will consider the use of archives as a means to broaden and/or to deepen public engagement with the art collections; or as manifestations of a growing interest in historiography. Exhibitions of historic art will be examined in comparison with the placement of archives within displays of contemporary art, a phenomenon that can be understood within the wider context of a more self-reflective exhibition practice that has developed in the contemporary art world over the past century. How does this practice relate to placing archives within exhibitions of historic art and what is the purpose of including archives in such exhibitions? What is the approach of curators in the historic field and what response does it engender in critics and visitors? Is there a dichotomy between historical and contemporary curatorial practice or is there a continuum between the two informed by an artistic and/or historicist framework?

本研究旨在探讨历史艺术展览如何及为何使用档案，并探讨档案工作者与策展人的展示策略与目的，以及分析这些展示手法所产生的效果与意义。这项研究直接来自我作为国家美术馆研究中心主任的角色，以及我自己在策划，研究和解释档案方面的实践。该项目有可能为理解目前展览的构思和设计方式以及博物馆如何向公众传播我们的文化遗产做出宝贵贡献。该项目将考虑利用档案作为扩大和/或加深公众对艺术收藏的参与的手段;或者作为对历史编纂日益增长的兴趣的表现。历史艺术的展览将与当代艺术展览中的档案放置进行比较，这一现象可以在更广泛的背景下理解，即在过去世纪的当代艺术世界中发展起来的更具自我反思性的展览实践。这种做法与在历史艺术展览中放置档案有什么关系？在这种展览中包括档案的目的是什么？策展人在历史领域的做法是什么？它在评论家和参观者中产生了什么反应？历史和当代策展实践之间是否存在二分法，或者两者之间是否存在艺术和/或历史主义框架的连续统一体？
