  • ADS Collection: 501
  • doi:10.5284/1000255
  • How to cite using this DOI

    • Digital Object Identifiers

    Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) are persistent identifiers which can be used to consistently and accurately reference digital objects and/or content. The DOIs provide a way for the ADS resources to be cited in a similar fashion to traditional scholarly materials. More information on DOIs at the ADS can be found on our help page.

    Citing this DOI

    DOIs should be the last element in a citation irrespective of the format used. The DOI citation should begin with "doi:" in lowercase followed by the DOI with no spaces between the ":" and the DOI.

    doi:10.5284/1000255

    DOIs can also be cited as a persistent link from another Web page. This is done by appending the DOI Resolver with the DOI. This would look like:

    http://dx.doi.org/10.5284/1000255

    However, if it is possible it is best to hide the URL in the href property of the <a> tag and have the link text be of the form doi:10.5284/1000255. The HTML for this would look like:

    <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.5284/1000255">doi:10.5284/1000255</a>

Introduction

The overall aim of the Historic Farmsteads: Preliminary Characterisation project is to produce a national booklet for England, supported by a web-based Preliminary Regional Character Statement for each of the eight government regions, that will raise awareness of the contribution that historic farm buildings (HFBs) make to rural areas and will help to inform relevant policy formulation.

The objectives of the Historic Farmsteads: Preliminary Characterisation project are to:

  • Provide clear statements on the significance of the main characteristics and values of the HFB resource.
  • Articulate clearly the core values and policies of English Heritage and the Countryside Agency policy on matters relating to HFBs.
  • Provide clear statements identifying the driving forces and pressures affecting HFBs.
  • Raise the awareness of policy makers of the need for HFB policy formulation within a regional and local context.
