This project conducts a digital study of Britain's historical soundscape. Through a fusion ofmultidisciplinary approaches adopted from socio-economic history, corpus linguistics and humangeography, it responds to calls for more developed understandings of humans' sensoryengagements with the environment (Pijanowski et al. 2011), and for the advancement of digitallyorientated sound studies (Clement 2016). The British Library's (BL) unparalleled text and soundarchives make it an ideal partner for this project. In addition to making significant contributions tomulti-media digital history studies, the project's methodology inspires its engagement with the BLto explore how these approaches can allow new access to and means of interpreting theircollections.This project combines traditional historical approaches to text with big data methodologies toexamine the representation of sound in a major nineteenth-century collection. The project willaddress ESRC concerns including: mental health (a strategic priority), inter-disciplinary research (anNWSSDTP priority) and "supporting research that exploits the UK's excellent data resources"(Strategic Plan p. 7). It asks:1. What can we learn about the historical British soundscape from a large corpus ofnineteenth-century writing?2. How can digital approaches be utilised alongside traditional historical research methods togenerate new understandings about the historical soundscape and its relevance to today'sacoustic experiences?3. How did the experience and representation of sound change in light of industrialisation,urbanisation and tourism over the course of the nineteenth century?4. How did these changes to the soundscape impact on contemporary interactions with, andattitudes towards, the natural world and urban environments?5. How did exposure to different types of sound affect people's wellbeing and mental healthin both positive and negative ways, and what can these historical lessons teach us abouttoday's experiences?6. What contributions can digital humanities approaches to the BL's collections make to aheritage organisation's activities?

该项目对英国历史音景进行数字研究。通过融合社会经济史、语料库语言学和人文地理学的多学科方法，它响应了对人类与环境的感官参与的更深入理解的呼声（Pijanowski et al. 2011），以及推动数字化声音研究的发展（Clement 2016）。大英图书馆 (BL) 无与伦比的文本和声音档案使其成为该项目的理想合作伙伴。除了对多媒体数字历史研究做出重大贡献外，该项目的方法还激发了 BL 的参与，探索这些方法如何允许新的访问和解释其藏品的方式。该项目将传统的文本历史方法与大数据方法相结合，以检查 19 世纪主要藏品中声音的表现。该项目将解决 ESRC 关注的问题，包括：心理健康（战略优先事项）、跨学科研究（NWSSDTP 优先事项）和“支持利用英国优秀数据资源的研究”（战略计划第 7 页）。它问：1。我们可以从大量 19 世纪的著作中了解英国历史上的音景吗？2．如何将数字方法与传统历史研究方法结合使用，以对历史音景及其与当今声学体验的相关性产生新的理解？3。十九世纪的工业化、城市化和旅游业使声音的体验和表现发生了怎样的变化？4．声景的这些变化如何影响当代人与自然世界和城市环境的互动以及对自然世界和城市环境的态度？5。接触不同类型的声音如何以积极和消极的方式影响人们的福祉和心理健康？这些历史教训对我们今天的经历有什么启示？6。 BL 馆藏的数字人文方法可以为遗产组织的活动做出哪些贡献？
