We will exploit the potential of scientific equipment, portable tools of analysis, and digital data capture technology to significantly enhance the Trust's core functions to understand, look after, and promote our historic collections and sites. It will provide new pathways to innovative cultural and creative research and will provide rich data to better inform the management of material change of heritage assets now and in the future. The development of a mutual learning environment among universities, cultural institutions, and creative enterprises, will encourage a future generation of heritage scientists and practice-led specialists to address the contemporary challenges of managing material change of moveable and immoveable heritage. The NT is home to a remarkable portfolio of heritage assets across the UK from historic buildings, monuments, landscapes, gardens, archaeological sites, as well as over a million objects in our care. The proposed upgrades and enhancements of scientific facilities, and historic digital data capture will significantly increase existing creative research capability and extend the breadth and geographic reach of our current provision to other organisations and networks. It will build on our reputation for conservation excellence and innovative cross-disciplinary partnerships, significantly increasing our support for others by providing a national-scale resource for collaboration, education, and shared training. By exploiting the potential of portable tools of analysis we will undertake research to deepen understanding of how objects in our collections were made and used, and the cultural contexts in which they are situated. Crucially, scientific analysis will also help us to document change over time to inform choices of how change is managed now and in the future. Building on the exceptional public engagement programme established at Knole Conservation Studio, we will use augmented reality tools (AR) to enable novel approaches to develop and trial immersive content. This presents a unique opportunity to connect with the public and to share with other heritage organisations the challenges and choices of collection conservation presentation and management. Enhanced heritage digital data capture tools, for example, geophysical survey equipment, photographometry, and handheld laser scanners will provide digital twin outputs to monitor change and enable research to make better informed choices of how we manage heritage now and in the future. These digital tools will provide new quality, multi-purpose datasets, which will support us and other historic asset managers to devise more effective interventions to maintain and adapt the historic environment to maximise benefits whilst retaining cultural value. This is particularly timely, as climate change is resulting in unprecedented impacts on historic sites. We will develop relationships with new heritage research partners and stakeholders, especially those in under-served regions of the UK. Given the Trust's geographical reach, uniquely we will provide 'in the wild' state of the art evaluation of heritage assets by taking the tools to the assets, along with management and conservation protocols. This will enable a diverse range of researchers (including Early Career Researchers (ECRs), secondees, interns) to develop interdisciplinary capability, practice-led skills, and carry out knowledge exchange, to catalyse new creative research opportunities. As an incremental step towards our ambitions to grow our research capacity and capability across the Trust, this project will provide the platform for creating a culture for mutual sharing of equipment and knowledge. This will be achieved through training, workshops, placements, and hosting through existing and new networks. The project will provide new economic opportunities, inform regulatory frameworks, and develop skills to meet heritage challenges now and in the future.

我们将利用科学设备，便携式分析工具和数字数据捕获技术的潜力，以显着增强信任的核心功能，以理解，照顾和促进我们的历史性收藏和站点。它将为创新的文化和创造性研究提供新的途径，并将提供丰富的数据，以更好地告知现在和将来的遗产资产的物质变化。大学，文化机构和创造性企业之间相互学习环境的发展将鼓励未来的遗产科学家和实践领导的专家应对当代管理可移动和不可移动遗产的物质变化的挑战。 NT是整个英国拥有历史建筑，纪念碑，景观，花园，考古遗址以及我们护理中超过一百万个物品的历史悠久的建筑物，景观，花园，考古遗址，拥有巨大的遗产资产组合。拟议的科学设施的升级和增强功能以​​及历史悠久的数字数据捕获将大大提高现有的创意研究能力，并将当前规定的广度和地理范围扩展到其他组织和网络。它将以我们在保护卓越和创新的跨学科合作伙伴关系的声誉为基础上，通过提供国家规模的合作，教育和共享培训来大大增加我们对他人的支持。通过利用便携式分析工具的潜力，我们将进行研究，以加深对我们收藏中的物体如何制作和使用的物体以及它们所处的文化背景的理解。至关重要的是，科学分析还将帮助我们记录随着时间​​的变化记录，以告知选择现在和将来如何管理变化的选择。在Knole Conservation Studio建立的非凡公共参与计划的基础上，我们将使用增强现实工具（AR）来启用新颖的方法来开发和试用沉浸式内容。这为与公众建立联系并与其他遗产组织分享收集保护介绍和管理的挑战和选择提供了独特的机会。 增强的遗产数字数据捕获工具，例如地球物理调查设备，摄影和手持式激光扫描仪将提供数字双输出，以监视变化并使研究能够更好地了解我们现在和将来如何管理遗产。这些数字工具将提供新的质量，多功能数据集，这将支持我们和其他历史资产经理，以设计更有效的干预措施，以维护和适应历史性的环境，以最大程度地提高利益，同时保持文化价值。这尤其及时，因为气候变化导致对历史遗址的前所未有的影响。 我们将与新的Heritage研究合作伙伴和利益相关者，尤其是在英国服务不足的地区建立关系。鉴于信托基金的地理范围，我们将通过将工具与管理和保护协议一起使用工具来对遗产资产的最先进评估的“野外”状态提供。这将使各种各样的研究人员（包括早期职业研究人员（ECR），二次，实习生）能够发展跨学科的能力，实践领导的技能以及进行知识交流，以促进新的创意研究机会。作为朝着我们在整个信托中提高研究能力和能力的雄心的渐进一步，该项目将为建立一种文化提供一种用于相互共享设备和知识的平台。这将通过培训，研讨会，安置和托管通过现有和新网络来实现。该项目将提供新的经济机会，为监管框架提供信息，并发展技能，以应对现在和将来的遗产挑战。
