Summary

Last summer saw the launch of a website built around current field research at Gardom's Edge in Derbyshire http://www.shef.ac.uk/~geap/. In this article, we want to highlight some of the ideas that went into the initial development of the site, how it relates to various aspects of our research, and how our first forays into this field have thrown up new questions and problems. We also want to explore how web-based media offer novel forms of access and engagement, particularly for those communities that we often lump together under the catch-all term `the public'.
