SKILLS
ABOUT NICOLE SMITH
I have a background working in the cultural heritage sector, as an archaeology curator and as a specialist in digital technology implementation for museums.I am an archaeologist with several years’ experience in field archaeology with a research interest in Early Modern archaeology, particularly the relationship between archaeological research and public consumption of the past. I work with locally focused arts and culture organisations, and am interested in supporting the implementation of co-designed interventions for engaging with archaeology and heritage. I have been involved in exhibition design, staging, and evaluation since 2004.My most recent work has focused on the outdoor learning and the development of participatory methodologies for archaeology, and I am currently developing tools for use by community groups to record, analyse, and interpret archaeological material culture. I am also working with the National Trust and Durham University to roll-out guidelines for embedding archaeological practice into interpretation and programming at outdoor heritage sites across England and Wales.I am part of the core team for the Digital Narratives in Archaeology Research (DiNAR) project, developing approaches to university-museum partnership working, we have recently launched an interactive VR experience at Yorkshire Museum as part of the British Museum and York Museums Trust exhibition, Viking: Rediscover the Legend. I am working with partners from several cultural heritage organisations and higher education institutions to design and implement impact activities from this research.Current projects:Digital Narratives for Heritage (DiNar) project (DC Labs & Archaeology, University of York)- http://dinarproject.net/Discovering England\'s Burial Spaces (DEBS)- Historic England funded - http://debs.ac.uk/Re-reading the British Memorial Project – http://britishmemorial.org/Basing House: Community, Archaeology, Technology Project - http://basinghouseproject.org/
