Shared Visions: North East Regional Research Framework for the Historic Environment

North East Regional Research Framework

The North East Regional Research Framework for the Historical Environment (NERRF) is one of a series of regional research frameworks promoted by English Heritage in collaboration with local authorities. Its purpose is to help make decisions about future archaeological and historic environment research in North East England (Northumberland, County Durham, Teesside, and Tyne and Wear). It will also help provide structure to developer-funded fieldwork.

 

The research framework is divided into three sections:Shared Visions

 

Resource Assessment: an overview of the current state of knowledge and understanding in the region.

Research Agenda: recognition of the potential of the resource, gaps in our knowledge and a list of research topics.

Research Strategy: a prioritised list of research objectives, furthered by implementing specific Research Projects.

 

As further knowledge is gained from research and other projects, the agenda and strategy will be subject to continuing review.
