项目摘要

The book is one of the major components of our cultural heritage - by 'book' we mean any portable object whose prime purpose is to convey documentary information (including images and text). For centuries vast effort has been devoted to investigating and interpreting the content of written documents, but, in comparison, relatively little attention has been paid to the medium itself. In fact, the study of the book as a physical object lags some way behind the technical study of other cultural objects (such as easel paintings). We propose to bring together those who are active in the study of the book (including literary and historical scholars, research scientists, as well as library curators and book conservators) in a Research Cluster, and, by commbining this expertise with experience from related disciplines, generate a research agenda for such a study.A major interest of the Research Cluster will be within the theme 'Authenticity, authentication and security', since a knowledge of the life histories of books is an essential contribution to understanding their content in context. We will also be interested in the nature of transformation of the various elements of the material objects, and the implications of this for conservation practice. The interaction between the various components of the book will be an important consideration here. As such, it also speaks to the theme 'nature of transformation'..The Research Cluster will build on an existing research network, the 'Centre for the Study of the Book' (a partnership between the Bodleian Library, Oxford, the British Library, Universiteitsbibliotheek Leiden, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Munich and Princeton University).We believe that this activity will precipitate a step-change in the way in which the physical nature of the book is taken into account when the information content is evaluated, and will remind the world that the physical book contains more information than can be represented as a digitized image. The output will be a document which summarizes the current state of research, and generates a strategy for futre interdisciplinary research.

书籍是我们文化遗产的主要组成部分之一 - 我们所说的“书籍”是指任何便携式物体，其主要目的是传达文献信息（包括图像和文本）。几个世纪以来，人们一直致力于调查和解释书面文件的内容，但相比之下，对媒介本身的关注相对较少。事实上，对作为物理对象的书籍的研究在某种程度上落后于对其他文化对象（例如架上绘画）的技术研究。我们建议将活跃于书籍研究的人们（包括文学和历史学者、研究科学家以及图书馆馆长和图书管理员）聚集到一个研究集群中，并将这些专业知识与相关学科的经验相结合，为此类研究制定研究议程。研究集群的主要兴趣将集中在“真实性、认证和安全”主题内，因为了解书籍的生命史对于理解其上下文内容至关重要。我们还将对物质物体的各种元素的转化性质及其对保护实践的影响感兴趣。本书各个组成部分之间的相互作用将是这里的一个重要考虑因素。因此，它也谈到了“转型的本质”这一主题。研究集群将建立在现有的研究网络“书籍研究中心”（牛津大学博德利图书馆、大英图书馆之间的合作伙伴关系）的基础上。、莱顿大学图书馆、慕尼黑巴伐利亚国立图书馆和普林斯顿大学）。我们相信，这项活动将促使人们在考虑书籍物理性质的方式上发生重大变化。信息内容被评估，并将提醒世界，实体书包含的信息比数字化图像所能表示的信息要多。输出将是一份总结当前研究状况的文件，并为未来的跨学科研究制定策略。
