London Middlesex Hearth Tax analysis

项目摘要

The Project arises from the recent completion in early 2006 by volunteer transcribers of the transcript of the London and Middlesex Lady Day hearth tax return. Breaking with the established practices of the British Academy Hearth Tax Project, the London Hearth Tax Project is seeking both to broaden and to narrow academic approaches: the former through the application of Information & Communications Technologies, and the latter through the posing of precise historical questions. This initiative requires a level of funding and an academic support network far beyond the resources of the funders which have supported the British Academy Hearth Project hitherto (please see 'Other Support' section). The London Hearth Tax Project would meet its objectives (please see 'Objectives' section) through the completion of two major outputs: 1. a two-volume hard-copy edition of the 1666 return, which would also include a series of historical essays addressing the Project's research questions, as well as a critical edition of the 1666 text; and2. an online database and Historical Geographical Information Systems (GIS) for London and Middlesex in 1666, which will be integrated with other online historical resources hosted by British History Online .In order to complete this work, the London Hearth Tax Project will employ its own professional consultants who specialize in palaeography, archival research, statistics and Historical GIS, complemented by the expertise of the Centre for Metropolitan History at the Institute of Historical Research and the School of History, Classics and Archaeology at Birkbeck College, University of London. The Project would be able to deliver value for money while guaranteeing the highest academic standards because of the combination of the work of volunteers (who are committed to genealogy and family history) with historical auditing processes as set out in the attached Project plan. In short, the Project will enrich understanding of people and places in early modern London through the combination of hard-copy and electronic analyses, which would be highly valued by professional and non-professional historians.

该项目源于2006年初完成的伦敦和米德尔塞克斯夫人日纳税申报表的志愿抄写员。打破了英国学院灶火税项目的既定做法，伦敦灶火税项目正在寻求拓宽和缩小学术方法：前者通过信息和通信技术的应用，后者通过提出精确的历史问题。这一倡议需要一定程度的资金和学术支持网络，远远超出迄今为止支持英国科学院灶台项目的资助者的资源（请参阅“其他支持”部分）。伦敦灶台税项目将通过完成两项主要产出来实现其目标（请参见“目标”一节）：1666年报告的两卷本硬拷贝版，其中还包括一系列解决该计划研究问题的历史论文，以及1666年文本的批判版；每天在家。1666年伦敦和米德尔塞克斯的一个在线数据库和历史地理信息系统（GIS），它将与英国历史在线主办的其他在线历史资源集成。为了完成这项工作，伦敦壁炉税项目将聘请专门从事古生物学、档案研究、统计学和历史地理信息系统的专业顾问，并辅以伦敦大学伯克贝克学院历史、经典和考古学院历史研究所大都会历史中心的专业知识。由于志愿者的工作（他们致力于家谱和家族史）与所附项目计划中规定的历史审计流程相结合，该项目将能够在保证最高学术标准的同时提供物有所值的服务。简而言之，该项目将通过硬拷贝和电子分析的结合，丰富对近代伦敦早期人物和地点的理解，这将受到专业和非专业历史学家的高度重视。
