About NERRF
In 2006 Shared Visions: The North-East Regional Research Framework for the Historic Environment was published. It set out a vision for the future of research into the archaeology and historic environment of North-East England (Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, County Durham and Teesside). It aspired to review the existing state of knowledge of the historic environment and archaeology of the region and present a series of research priorities that would help shape research and fieldwork in the world of commercial and plannning driven archaeology, academic scholarship and community engagement.
In 2016 Historic England agreed to fund Durham University to commence a revision of the original publication - taking on board the many advances and developments in the field over the last decade and offering a new vision for the future of the region's past.
This revision project will involve many of the organisations and individuals that helped create the original publication and will also reach out to engage new participants with an increased emphasis on reaching community heritage groups. The final result will be hosted on a new website allowing the findings to be easily accessed and facilitating its updating in the future.
