Abstract

Evidence-based policy-making has long been a significant method of government. Academics in a range of disciplines have contributed in supplying the evidence on which, in part, governments develop their policies. However, the arts and humanities, and in this case historians, are less well represented in this influencing role. In May 2008, The National Archives, in partnership with History and Policy, was awarded a grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) to run a series of workshops under its Collaborative Research Training Scheme, on ‘Using Archival Sources to Inform Contemporary Policy Debates.’ The purpose was to explore the relevance of history—and the archival sources that underpin it—to policy-making and to identify areas where this had been done, more or less successfully. In describing the workshop and analyzing its outcomes, the authors identify emerging themes and explore ways in which other archive services might implement similar initiatives.
利用档案为当代政策辩论提供信息:从历史到政策?
长期以来,循证决策一直是政府的一种重要方法。在一定程度上,各个学科的学者为政府制定政策提供了证据。然而,艺术和人文学科,在这种情况下,历史学家,在这种影响作用中没有得到很好的体现。2008年5月,国家档案馆与历史与政策合作,获得了艺术与人文研究委员会(AHRC)的资助,在其合作研究培训计划下举办了一系列关于“利用档案资源为当代政策辩论提供信息”的讲习班。其目的是探索历史与政策制定之间的关联——以及支撑历史的档案来源,并确定哪些领域在这方面或多或少取得了成功。在描述研讨会和分析其成果时,作者确定了新出现的主题,并探索了其他档案服务可能实施类似倡议的方法。
