2National updateThe project has made excellent progressover the last year. Thanks to the hard workand enthusiasm of staff, volunteers andpartners around the country we’re makinglocal history more accessible to a greaterrange of people.Our website went live at the Bristol launchon 21 March 2006, with distinct homepages for both the county and nationalprojects. You can also keep up to date withEPE News, which is free and emailed tosubscribers quarterly.LEARNINGOur schools projects and resources; the volunteerprogramme; lifelong learning and outreach form a keyelement of the project.SchoolsThe schools programme will encourage the use of localhistory across the curriculum for Key Stages 1-3.2006 saw the completion of the first schools project inWiltshire. The whole of Wylye Valley School in Codforddivided into four mixed groups aged 5-11 years andparticipated in a study of ‘agriculture through the ages’ for sixweeks. Each group used a time period by which to explorewater meadows, parish churches and farms. Activitiesinvolved field trips, writing in Latin, role play, growing grassand building a life-size Iron Age hut in the school grounds,complete with camp fire.The project represents new ways of teaching and learningwith local history as well as highlighting possible schoolsactivity to the other counties. The project is also a model forother counties with two Year 7 transitional projects well onthe way, looking to target over 200 children.CommunityLocal volunteers are contributing a considerable amount ofresearch to the project, which also provides opportunitiesfor them to develop a range of skills in areas such ashistorical research, photography, buildings analysis andinformation technology. The project has already exceededits target of 250 for the number of volunteers, as well as thehours they’ve worked.Partnership and liaisonThe annual Learning Forum took place on 28 November2006 and was well attended by the EPE counties. Theevent was chaired by Don Henson (Head of Education atthe Council for British Archaeology) and was an opportunityfor all Volunteer Group Leaders, Education Consultants,Partners, Team Leaders and Researchers to feed back onthe learning elements of their projects and share ideas. Theevent will inform the Learning Strategy due for revision inMarch 07.Partnership is essential to the sustainability of both thevolunteer and schools projects. We are developingrelationships with local Records Offices, museums and otherlocal and national organisations.The Education and Skills Manager will present the EPEproject to the History subject association meeting at theQualifications and Curriculum Authority History in March.The meeting will be attended by 25 representatives fromorganisations including English Heritage and MidlandsHistory Forum. This will provide a great opportunity toprofile the EPE schools programme and get feed back on itsdevelopment.The Education and Skills Manager has also been invited tobecome a member of the Education working group forHeritage Link. Heritage Link was set up in 2002 to givethe many and diverse independent heritage organisationsin England a collective voice. It aims to influence policy,Recording farmsteads, ExmoorEngland’s Past For Everyone - Annual Report 2006

3National updateThe ‘Explore’ websiteunderpin advocacy and build capacity in the non-governmentsector.OutreachAn outreach policy has been created to support initiativeswhich work towards engaging a wider audience than ourkey beneficiaries for the learning programme and producepositive publicity for the EPE project.WEB RESOURCESOur new ‘Explore England’s Past’ website will be launched inJune at the Houses of Parliament. So we’ll be spending thefirst part of the year training project users and entering theresults of the research into the online database.We hope that the Explore site will provide a flexibleresource for all learners, who will be able to search images,documents and audio visual material using Google Maps,timelines and themes. The website’s content managementsystem and digital asset store is being built by Simulacra Ltd.years before the VCH. The EPE series will provide anexciting complement to Phillimore’s existing local and familyhistory publishing, as the emphasis of the EPE series will bevery much on the techniques and methods of producinglocal history. We also hope that the series will encourageand inspire readers to do their own research in their ownlocalities.The books will have approximately 200 pages with fullcolour illustrations throughout and will be priced at less than£20 per volume. The series will be characterised by clear,accessible writing, and will be based on the high standardsof historical research and fieldwork which have for so longbeen a standard of the Victoria County History.An important and unique feature of the volumes is theresearch contribution of volunteers in each county. This hasenabled us to study a greater range and volume of sourcematerial than is normally possible for a single author.HISTORIC LANDSCAPELandscape and architectural survey is an integral part of theEPE project, providing interpretation of key source materialas part of the paperback and online publications.Building on the work of the VCH Architectural Editor, EPE’sHistoric Environment Research Manager facilitates thecounty team in relating the built environment to the storiesof people and places.Over the past year, six projects have been completed byarchitectural and archaeological consultants in Cornwall,Durham, Oxfordshire, Sussex and Wiltshire. Ourrelationships with local vernacular buildings groups havePartnerships are also being set up to deliver a range of webmountededucation modules, in consultation with localschools and education experts. Methods of interpretationwill be explored via examples of primary evidence andselected themes.PAPERBACK SERIESCodford in Wiltshire is the subject of our first paperbackbook, due to be launched on 21 April 2007.
