Dig Where We Stand: Developing and Sustaining Community Heritage.

该项目汇集了来自UCL的研究人员团队，他们在社区考古学，社区档案，博物馆收藏，公共历史，口述历史，电影研究，地理以及使用数字技术参与社区遗产的公众支持下，由一系列遗产和社区合作伙伴。团队成员在社区遗产项目和公众参与活动方面拥有丰富的经验，该项目旨在将UCL内部的专业知识引起更广泛的关注，深化现有的并与社区团体建立新的伙伴关系，探索将社区遗产的不同分支结合在一起的好处（特别是社区档案和考古），并努力鼓励青年人参与社区遗产活动。从历史工作坊的口号“挖掘你的立场”中汲取灵感，这个项目基于这样一个原则，即社区的地方感取决于对其过去的理解。在社区考古学，社区档案，地方历史，口述历史，公共地理，社区电影和媒体研究以及数字遗产方面的现有举措和工作的基础上，该团队的研究人员共同相信历史和地方遗产可以对维持社区和提高参与遗产活动的人的生活质量产生深远的影响。他们致力于分享他们的知识和专业知识，以发展和保持广泛参与（特别是年轻人）在一系列的社区遗产活动。该提案汇集了来自伦敦大学学院的研究团队，以及伦敦和周边县的公共和社区考古学，社区档案和其他社区遗产实践的社区从业人员。虽然这些活动在伦敦大学学院都有很好的代表性，但社区档案和社区考古学的从业者往往没有机会分享最佳实践的例子或建立合作项目。该项目旨在明确社区遗产从业人员和研究人员更紧密合作的好处和协同作用，通过访问公众参与和支持UCL社区遗产活动的专业知识，并通过组织旨在汇集研究人员和社区遗产从业人员的活动计划，以激发对话，相互交流思想和知识，并建立未来的合作。发展奖将使该团队能够扩大对UCL内部可用的社区遗产专业知识的认可（通过参加方案活动和各种计划产出，包括一个互动项目网站（在项目供资结束后由伦敦大学学院维持三年），在社区遗产NCCPE网站上放置的材料，在适当的社区遗产会议上的会议文件，在同行评审期刊（国际遗产研究期刊）上发表的关于社区遗产合作的文章以及与我们的社区合作伙伴合作设计的实用指南。该项目还将导致与从事社区遗产工作的团体发展和扩大新的和现有的研究伙伴关系，包括由高级别基金进一步支持的活动和伙伴关系以及未来可能的研究理事会资助。最后，该项目旨在建立和传播鼓励青年人更多地参与各种社区遗产活动的模式。

This project brings together a team of researchers from across UCL with expertise in community archaeology, community archives, museum collections, public history, oral history, film studies, geography, and the use of digital technologies in engaging the public in community heritage supported by a range of heritage and community partners. Members of the team have extensive experience of community heritage projects and public engagement activities, and this project aims to bring the expertise located within UCL to the attention of a wider audience, deepen existing and establish new partnerships with community groups, explore the benefits of bringing together different branches of community heritage (notably community archives and archaeology) and seeking to encourage the participation of young people in community heritage activities. Drawing inspiration from the History Workshop slogan "Dig Where You Stand", this project is based on the principle that a community's sense of place rests on an understanding of its past. Building on existing initiatives and work in community archaeology, community archives, local history, oral history, public geography, community film and media studies and digital heritage, the researchers on this team share a belief in the profound impact that history and local heritage can have in sustaining communities and enhancing the quality of life of those who participate in heritage activities. They are committed to sharing their knowledge and expertise to develop and sustain broad participation (particularly amongst young people) in a range of community heritage activities. This proposal brings together a research team from UCL with community practitioners in public and community archaeology, community archives and other community heritage practices in London and the Home Counties. While such activities are all well represented within UCL, the practitioners of community archives and community archaeology have often not had the opportunity to share examples of best practice or build collaborative projects. This project seeks to make clear the benefits and synergies for community heritage practitioners and researchers of closer collaboration, by accessing the expertise in public engagement and support for community heritage activity in UCL, and by organising a programme of events designed to bring together researchers and community heritage practitioners to stimulate dialogue, the mutual exchange of ideas and knowledge, and build future collaborations.The development award will enable the team to widen recognition of the community heritage expertise available within UCL (via attendance at the programmed events and the various planned outputs, including an interactive project website (sustained by UCL for three years after the project funding ends), material placed on the community heritage NCCPE site, conference papers at the appropriate community heritage conferences, an article on community heritage collaborations in a peer review journal (the International Journal of Heritage Studies) and practical guidance designed in collaboration with our community partners. The project will also result in the development and extension of new and existing research partnerships with groups doing community heritage, including activities and partnerships supported by further HLF and possible future research council funding. Finally the project aims at establishing and disseminating models for encouraging greater participation by young people in various community heritage activities.
