Bringing Landscape to Life: Environmental Histories at Sheringham Park 1812-2012

利用额外的资源，我们建议开展以下活动：影响评估：原项目的主要成果是2012年9月在谢林汉姆公园举办的展览。有了额外的资源，项目团队将回到谢林汉姆，开展工作，评估展览和更广泛的研究项目对谢林汉姆公园游客体验的影响，以及国民信托与学术研究的关系。这项工作将采取访客调查、参与观察和制定创造性方法来衡量影响，以及审查新闻报道和反应，并总结所吸取的教训。评估结果将提供给人权委员会和项目伙伴国民信托组织。红皮书的数字化：汉弗莱·雷普顿的谢林汉姆公园红皮书，制作于1812年，从一开始就是原始项目的重点。额外的资源将使数字化版本（已经拍摄）可以在线上（通过国民信托网站），以及额外的支持材料，为雷普顿、设计景观和花园历史的研究人员提供宝贵的资源。在线展览：数字化的、基于网络的《红书》将与在谢林汉姆公园举办的在线改编版展览一起展出。将雇用PDRA Lucy Veale（为期2个月）协调上述活动。她将由PI斯蒂芬丹尼尔斯，谢林汉姆公园的工作人员和国民信托对外事务副主任本考威尔指导。项目扩建将于2013年1月1日开始。由于展览将持续到2013年8月（在此日期之后没有立即拆除的计划），主要的影响评估将在6月和7月进行（届时PDRA将被雇用），以便有足够的时间从开幕到产生影响（对公园的游客和合作组织国民信托）。这段时间也正好是公园游客数量的高峰期，因此可以最大限度地评估展览的影响，以及它的功能和耐用性。然而，记录媒体报道和反应的工作将从2013年1月开始进行。网络资源将逐步建立，直至2013年7月底项目完成。当前项目的附加价值当前项目的产出已经大大超出了团队在6个月期间所能达到的预期。展览规模和范围的扩大增加了谢林汉姆项目的影响，额外的资源将使我们能够在适当的时候评估这种对游客和国民信托的影响的程度和特征，使项目的成功和它实现最初目标的程度得到严格的确定。结果将为未来的研究提供有用的模型，以遵循或避免，并将产生对AHRC，学术界，国民信托，展览设计师Ugly工作室和其他潜在的合作伙伴组织感兴趣的发现。虽然展览是免费进入的，但谢林汉姆公园在北诺福克海岸的位置不可避免地限制了观众的数量。网上辅助展览将扩大观众，而完全数字化和免费获取的《红皮书》版本将为学术研究和感兴趣的公众提供宝贵资源。目前，人们对雷普顿和他的作品重新产生了兴趣，特别是他设计的景观继续在地面上消失。谢林汉姆的《红皮书》被广泛认为是他作品中最好的例子之一，使其成为完全数字化的理想人选。谢林汉姆公园的工作人员表示，数字化的红皮书将是“网站上的一个极好的资源”，并支持拟议的影响评估，这与他们自己的游客满意度调查一致。

With additional resources we propose to undertake the following activities:Impact Assessment: The main output of the original project was an exhibition at Sheringham Park which opened in September 2012. With the additional resources the project team will return to Sheringham and undertake work to assess the impact of the exhibition and the wider research project, on both the visitor experience at Sheringham Park, and on the National Trust's relationship with academic research. The work will take the format of visitor surveys, participant observation and the formulation of creative ways to measure impact, as well as a review of press coverage and reaction, and a summary of lessons learned. The results of the assessment will be made available to both AHRC and project partner National Trust.Digitization of Red Book: Humphry Repton's Red Book for Sheringham Park, produced in 1812 was, from the outset, the focus of the original project. Additional resources will enable the digitized version (already photographed) to be made available online (through the National Trust website), alongside additional supporting material, producing a valuable resource for researchers of Repton, designed landscapes, and garden history. Online exhibition: The digitised, web-based Red Book will be accompanied by an online adapted version of the exhibition at Sheringham Park.The PDRA Lucy Veale would be employed (for a period of 2 months) to coordinate the above activities. She will be mentored by PI Stephen Daniels, staff at Sheringham Park and National Trust Deputy Director of External Affairs Ben Cowell.Key MilestonesThe project extension will begin on 1st January 2013. As the exhibition runs until August 2013 (with no immediate plans for its removal after that date), the main assessment of impact will take place in June and July (when the PDRA will be employed) to allow sufficient time to have elapsed from the opening for an impact to have been made (both on visitors to the park, and on partner organisation National Trust). This period also coincides with a peak time regarding visitor numbers to the Park, thus allowing maximum assessment of the impact of the exhibition, as well as its functionality and durability. However, work to record press coverage and reaction will be ongoing from January 2013.The web-based resources will be gradually built up until the completion of the project at the end of July 2013.Added Value to Current ProjectOutputs from the current project have already greatly exceeded the team's expectations regarding what could be achieved in a 6 month period. The expansion of the exhibition's size and scope increased the impact of the project at Sheringham and the additional resources outlined would enable us to assess the level and character of this impact on both visitors and the National Trust at an appropriate time, enabling the success of the project and the extent to which it achieved its original aims, to be critically determined. The outcome will provide useful models for future research to follow or avoid, and will produce findings of interest to AHRC, academics, National Trust, exhibition designers Ugly Studios and other potential partner organisations.Although the exhibition is free to enter, the location of Sheringham Park on the North Norfolk coast inevitably limits audience size. An online complementary exhibition would broaden the audience, whilst a fully digitized and freely accessible version of the Red Book would serve as a valuable resource for academic research as well as interested members of the wider public. There is currently renewed interest in Repton and his work, particularly as the landscapes he designed continue to disappear on the ground. The Red Book for Sheringham widely regarded as amongst the finest examples of his work, making it an ideal candidate for full digitization. Staff at Sheringham Park have expressed that the digitized Red Book would be 'a terrific resource to have on the website' and are supportive of the proposed assessment of impact, in line with their own visitor satisfaction surveys.
