The UK's historic environment has been widely recognised as an important national economic and cultural resource. This resource is both highly diverse and affected by a wide range of, often intertwined, pressures. Whilst huge progress has been made over the past century in understanding, conserving and presenting various aspects of our historic environment, studies have tended to be very fragmented and usually focused on a single challenge to one type or location of historical environment. In order to manage this important resource more effectively over the 21st century, improved and genuine cross-disciplinary research effort is needed. One key barrier to such improved research is the plethora of different methods utilised by workers with backgrounds in different areas of arts, humanities, social sciences and sciences. Our research cluster aims to provide an effective, productive, tangible and imaginative way of bringing together experts with a wide range of methodological experience relevant to the study and management of the historic environment in order to create new awareness and facilitate development of co-ordinated future research collaborations. These aims will be met through a developmental sequence of meetings involving core participants, organised by a well-qualified cluster research assistant who, with the PI and Co-I will be responsible for steering the whole research cluster over the year of its operation. We have already identified and involved 17 core participants in fields ranging from synchrotron radiation applications to photography. An initial meeting in Oxford in December 2006 on 'Introducing methods for studying the historical environment; will bring together 20 expert participants from fields as diverse as microbiology, computing based-archaeology, oral history, curatorship, socio-economic studies and professional photography to share information on established, new and potential methods. This meeting will be followed up by the production of a series of briefing notes on different methods. A second meeting in Burslem in April 2007 on 'Methods in action: addressing issues of Burslem's historic environment' will be hosted in association with Janet Miller from WS Atkins and will confront participants with the problems of regenerating Burslem's historic environment. Participants will split into small groups to consider in detail small aspects of the historic environment and how a range of methods could be deployed to study, conserve, enhance and market the resource. This meeting will be followed by the production of a tangible output, determined by the participants at the meeting in discussion with local interest groups, for the local area. The final meeting will be held in Oxford in June 2007 to focus on 'Advancing methods together'. The meeting will have a workshop format with small groups of participants producing draft grant proposals (based on either Burslem or themes and issues raised at the Burslem meeting) and presenting them to an invited audience from grant-giving bodies and agencies involved in the historic environment.

英国的历史环境被广泛认为是国家重要的经济和文化资源。这种资源既高度多样化，又受到广泛且往往相互交织的压力的影响。虽然过去一个世纪在理解、保护和展示我们的历史环境的各个方面取得了巨大进步，但研究往往非常分散，并且通常集中于对历史环境的一种类型或位置的单一挑战。为了在 21 世纪更有效地管理这一重要资源，需要改进和真正的跨学科研究工作。这种改进研究的一个主要障碍是具有艺术、人文、社会科学和科学不同领域背景的工作者使用过多不同的方法。我们的研究集群旨在提供一种有效、富有成效、切实和富有想象力的方式，将具有与历史环境研究和管理相关的广泛方法经验的专家聚集在一起，以创造新的意识并促进未来协调研究合作的发展。这些目标将通过一系列由核心参与者参加的发展性会议来实现，这些会议由一名合格的集群研究助理组织，该助理将与 PI 和 Co-I 一起负责指导整个研究集群在其运营的一年中。我们已经确定并参与了从同步辐射应用到摄影等领域的 17 名核心参与者。 2006 年 12 月在牛津举行的首次会议，主题是“介绍历史环境研究方法；将汇集来自微生物学、计算机考古学、口述历史、策展、社会经济研究和专业摄影等领域的 20 名专家参与者，分享有关已建立的、新的和潜在的方法的信息。这次会议之后将制作一系列关于不同方法的简报。 2007 年 4 月在布尔斯勒姆举行的第二次会议将与 WS Atkins 的 Janet Miller 联合主办，主题是“行动方法：解决布尔斯勒姆历史环境问题”，会议将向与会者提出重建布尔斯勒姆历史环境的问题。参与者将分成小组，详细考虑历史环境的小方面，以及如何采用一系列方法来研究、保护、增强和营销资源。会议结束后，将根据会议参与者与当地利益团体讨论后确定的具体成果，为当地提供成果。最后一次会议将于 2007 年 6 月在牛津举行，重点讨论“共同推进方法”。会议将采用研讨会形式，由小组参与者制作赠款提案草案（基于 Burslem 或 Burslem 会议上提出的主题和问题），并将其展示给来自赠款机构和参与历史环境的机构的受邀观众。
