Disgrifiad cryno

This module explores developments in the field of local studies, from the earliest antiquarian endeavours to its growing professionalisation in the 21st century with the establishment of heritage centres, cross-domain co-operation, and academic specialisation. It considers the range of sources available for local studies, extending beyond documentary heritage to consider issues in relation to the built environment and the particular issues posed by intangible heritage, as well as the services and professions supporting this field.

Cynnwys

This module will be delivered through lectures, study visits, and guest lectures by subject specialists from professional practice. Consideration will be given to:
• The historical development of local studies and community heritage;
• The written documentary heritage – what sources survive for the study of localities, where are these materials located, and how they can be used;
• The physical heritage – architectural, artefactual and archaeological sources;
• Intangible heritage – problems of definition and curatorship and benefits to the community;
• The professional services that exist to support the study of heritage and local studies;
• How are we redefining the nature of local and community heritage in the 21st century.
