Tower of London World Heritage Site Management Plan
Tower of London World Heritage Site Management Plan Published by Historic Royal Palaces © Historic Royal Palaces 2007 Historic Royal Palaces Hampton Court Palace Surrey KT8 9AU June 2007 Foreword By David Lammy MP Minister for Culture I am delighted to support this Management Plan for the Tower of London World Heritage Site. The Tower of London, founded by William the Conqueror in 1066-7, is one of the world’s most famous fortresses, and Britain’s most visited heritage site. It was built to protect and control the city and the White Tower survives largely intact from the Norman period. Architecture of almost all styles that have since flourished in England may be found within the walls. The Tower has been a fortress, a palace and a prison, and has housed the Royal Mint, the Public Records and the Royal Observatory. It was for centuries the arsenal for small arms, the predecessor of the present Royal Armouries, and has from early times guarded the Crown Jewels. Today the Tower is the key to British history for visitors who come every year from all over the world to relive the past and to enjoy the pageantry of the present. It is deservedly a World Heritage Site. The Government is accountable to UNESCO and the wider international community for the future conservation and presentation of the Tower. It is a responsibility we take seriously. The purpose of the Plan is to provide an agreed framework for long-term decision-making on the conservation and improvement of the Tower and sustaining its outstanding universal value.

Evaluating Effectiveness, Engagement, and Family-Friendliness at Kensington Palace
Evaluating Effectiveness, Engagement, and Family-Friendliness at Kensington Palace An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science by: William Cooley Yingbing Lu Philip Lund Tiffany Ta 21 June 2019 Report Submitted to: Professor Joel Brattin, Worcester Polytechnic Institute Professor Seth Tuler, Worcester Polytechnic Institute Emma Morioka, Historic Royal Palaces This report represents the work of WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its website without editorial or peer review. For more information about the projects program at WPI, see http://www.wpi.edu/Academics/Projects i Abstract Historic Royal Palaces, a charity that manages six royal palaces, opened two new exhibits, Victoria: A Royal Childhood and Victoria: Woman and Crown, at Kensington Palace to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Queen Victoria’s birth. Our team sought to evaluate the effectiveness, engagement, and family-friendliness of these exhibits in order to improve the visitor experience. To achieve this goal, we conducted interviews with the exhibition managers to determine their goals and expectations for the exhibits, then designed and utilized a survey and observation guide to gather visitor responses. We used the 370 survey responses and 65 observational samples we collected to compare the exhibits to previous exhibits and provide recommendations on improving signage and navigational clarity. ii Executive Summary A country’s history helps its residents and visitors understand its present state and appreciate its culture and greatness. To prevent loss of this knowledge, the heritage industry, a group of businesses and charities comprised primarily of museums and historic sites, has taken on the responsibility of preserving and presenting history.

Pictures of these wonderful events have been seen around the world by millions; however, we also chose to capture some quieter moments at our palaces, out of the international spotlight and attention. We asked two talented young photographers to record a very special year of our people, our palaces and the gardens, capturing the changes through the seasons.
