\"logo\"<\/a>The IHBC has launched the pilot for a new resource offering digital access with search facilities to select entries to the IHBC\u2019s celebrated Annual Gus Astley Student Award<\/a>, while seeking more suggestions and offers on future content on this \u2018characteristically pragmatic approach\u2019 by the IHBC to disseminating knowledge.<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2026 Thoughts and feedback are very welcome, and also suggestions for new content\u2026<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

IHBC Director Sean O\u2019Reilly said: \u2018This is a pilot giving access to data that could be critical in shaping conservation practice standards and securing conservation outcomes.\u2019<\/p>\n

Our characteristically pragmatic approach is clear: open access to digitised copies accessible via a controlled platform, with search facilities that enable easy access to knowledge while restricting the potential for plagiary.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Thoughts and feedback are very welcome, and also suggestions for new content from authors and others.\u00a0 The online listing of titles<\/a> etc. gives you a taste pf the content, and any suggestions we\u2019ll\u00a0 follow up to assess at what point investment in their publication here can best be justified.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2026 we have the \u2018research\u2019 thread in our CREATIVE Conservation Fund in place to underpin the work\u2026<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u2018Of course these are not \u2018magic wand\u2019, moments \u2013 it\u2019s taken us 10 years and more to get here.\u00a0 However, now we have the \u2018research\u2019 thread in our CREATIVE Conservation Fund in place to underpin the work, we are able to look at a sustainable strategy to get this critical celebration of student research in the UK into a more public, and more productive domain.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018So have a look at the list of titles, going back to our first year of the award, and let Michael Netter – our Professional Services Office \u2013 know of what you would like to see published.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2026 facility allows valuable research to be made available and searchable to anyone\u2026<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

IHBC\u2019s Education Secretary Chris Wood said: \u2018This is a most welcome creation from the IHBC.\u00a0 The facility allows valuable research to be made available and searchable to anyone, and to the benefit of conservation.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018This has been a long cherished aim and once this pilot system has been established, it should be possible to extend the model to include other high quality, practice-focussed research.\u2019<\/p>\n

Bob Kindred, IHBC\u2019s Research Adviser is a past trustees to the Gus Astley Memorial Fund, which both financed the original Student Award programme and also helped core-fund the new CREATIVE Conservation Fund<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bob said: \u2018I\u2019m very pleased to see this further development of the Gus Astley Student Awards. Since their inception in 2007 much valuable research has been completed and original thinking undertake by post-graduates and this deserves to be more widely shared.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2026 some of the best work \u2026.will help inform the sector and stimulate more contributions\u2026<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

\u2018I hope some of the best work now being added to the Institute\u2019s website will help inform the sector and stimulate more contributions from candidates for the GASAs in future.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Gus was a seminal figure in the development of this organisation and was an enthusiastic advocate of work that would promote best conservation practice and help raise professional standards and this latest initiative is in keeping with those aims.\u2019<\/p>\n

Aimee Felton, winner of the IHBC Gus Astley Student Award in 2012, and the IHBC\u2019s very first Associate member, said: \u2018This is yet another great resource for the industry provided by the IHBC.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2026 yet another great resource for the industry\u2026<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

\u2018It offers everyone the ability to access the hours of detailed research and unique perspectives on a cross section of topics and issues in a searchable and functional format.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s a great pleasure to see my own work join what will be such a broad cross section of academic texts.\u00a0 It also offers me the opportunity to pick up some of the loose threads I left back in 2012!\u2019<\/p>\n

Anthony Gwynne, whose entry was received only in 2020, said: \u2018I am very pleased that the IHBC is providing public access to papers that provide valuable information of new research, learning, views and opinions carried out by students and others for the benefit of our built heritage\u2019.<\/p>\n

The IHBC writes:<\/p>\n

The IHBC\u2019s \u2018Student Award Research Access Programme’ is a public service that offers digital access to select submissions to the IHBC\u2019s IHBC Gus Astley Student Award (GASA)<\/a>. Typically these are post-graduate research submissions produced to a standard approaching, equivalent to, or ahead of that found in professional practice.<\/p>\n

The IHBC’s GASA awards programme has been celebrating student submissions relating to conservation since 2007. Typically, the IHBC receives more than 35 submissions each year. See here for our\u00a0 Terms of submissions and judging<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To encourage access to this important body of research work, since 2007 the IHBC has listed the titles of submissions and related details. That posting is agreed by author(s) at the point of submission, and may be found and searched HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some GASA award submissions have been deemed of such special relevance to conservation practice and research that they merit enhanced access.<\/p>\n

When agreed with the author(s), these submissions have been posted on this service as digital publications – \u2018Flipping Books\u2019<\/a> – under the \u2018IHBC\u2019s GASA Digitisation programme\u2019. Using this approach means that users are not able to download content, out of respect to the authors.<\/p>\n
