ABSTRACT The activities of the UK Parliamentary Archives bridge the space between built heritage and in situ collection management. They are housed in the Palace of Westminster, London, designed and built after the fire of 1834. Whilst primarily looking at the work of conservators, archivists and curators related to two specific projects, we acknowledge and describe our collaborations and compromises in a building that is a high-profile and high-risk workplace, a ceremonial location, and an archive and museum in all but designation. The first project is a temporary Voice and Vote exhibition built in the summer of 2018 within the UNESCO-designated Westminster Hall. The exhibition necessitated additional build requirements and tailored emergency planning. The second project is the legislatively-mandated building upgrades to the Parliamentary Archives’ storage space in Victoria Tower. Together, these projects demonstrate collaborative working between several Parliamentary heritage teams, service teams such as Strategic Estates, Fire Services and external contractors. These two projects in the context of a heritage site illustrate the challenges of caring for collections which are housed in historic buildings, the impact of building environment on its associated collections, and the challenges of maintaining archives and their storage spaces.

选举权和吸烟:英国议会档案馆在照顾威斯敏斯特宫收藏方面的挑战

摘要 英国议会档案馆的活动在建筑遗产和原地收藏管理之间架起了桥梁。它们位于伦敦威斯敏斯特宫,是在 1834 年大火之后设计和建造的。虽然主要关注与两个特定项目相关的保护人员、档案管理员和策展人的工作,但我们承认并描述了我们在一座建筑物中的合作和妥协是一个引人注目和高风险的工作场所,一个仪式场所,除了指定之外的所有档案和博物馆。第一个项目是 2018 年夏天在联合国教科文组织指定的威斯敏斯特大厅内举办的临时“声音和投票”展览。展览需要额外的建造要求和量身定制的应急计划。第二个项目是立法授权的对维多利亚大厦议会档案馆存储空间的建筑升级。这些项目共同展示了几个议会遗产团队、战略地产、消防服务等服务团队和外部承包商之间的协作。这两个遗产地背景下的项目说明了保护历史建筑中的藏品的挑战、建筑环境对其相关藏品的影响,以及维护档案及其存储空间的挑战。
