Sound, Craft, Vision, Place: Research for Community Heritage

“声、艺、视、地”计划将汇集艺术及人文学科的研究人员，协助推广、发展和提供创新的外展活动，鼓励社区团体自行探索和表达他们的文化遗产，并推动项目获得基金资助。项目主题强调了哈德斯菲尔德大学口述历史、音乐、艺术与设计和数字媒体的重要性，以及我们利用人文学科以外的专业知识提供工具的能力，这些工具将吸引社区的兴趣，并促进项目创意。将鼓励社区团体自己具体说明欢迎合作或帮助的研究领域和方法。我们特别希望让那些在享受遗产方面遇到障碍的人参与进来，我们项目的一个重要组成部分将是当地和虚拟社区在解释他们自己的背景和环境方面所扮演的角色，包括基于网络和数字的活动，以鼓励虚拟志愿服务作为一种社区活动，由由地点和/或共同经历和兴趣联系在一起的人们进行。我们的合作伙伴将包括英格兰国家煤矿博物馆、英国遗产、皇家军械库以及当地社区团体，我们将与所有这些机构合作，为涉及免费获取档案材料的项目开发想法。

Sound, Craft, Vision, Place will draw together a team of researchers from the arts and humanities to assist the promotion, development and provision of innovative outreach activities to encourage community groups to explore and articulate their heritage for themselves, and to stimulate projects for HLF funding.The project themes emphasise the importance of oral history, music, art and design, and digital media at the University of Huddersfield, and our ability to draw on expertise beyond the humanities to provide tools that will attract community interest and prompt project ideas. Community groups themselves will be encouraged to specify the kinds of research areas and methods where collaboration or help would be welcomed. We are especially keen to involve those who have encountered barriers to enjoying the heritage, and an important part of our project will be the role to be played by local and virtual communities in the interpretation of their own backgrounds and surroundings, including web- and digital-based activity to encourage virtual volunteering as a communal activity, undertaken both by people who are connected by place and/or by shared experiences and interests.Among our partners will be the National Coal Mining Museum for England, English Heritage, the Royal Armouries, as well as local community groups, with all of whom we shall be working to develop ideas for projects involving free access to archive materials.
