Abstract:
The papers published here in this volume of The Geological Curator form a thematic set on the commercial trade in fossils and were originally presented at a one-day GCG Conference held on 23rd May 2001 at The University of Manchester. The idea for such a conference initially stemmed from discussions between staff at The Manchester Museum over the rights and wrongs of a museum acquiring unique and scientifically important palaeontological specimens, when it could not always be proved that those specimens left their country of origin entirely legally. Which was more important - the ethics or the science?

Abstract:
The University of Manchester collections of trace fossils are located on two sites. The Manchester Museum houses type, figured and reference specimens, including Triassic vertebrate footprints from Cheshire collected in the 19th century, and invertebrate trace fossils from Silesian rocks of the Pennines, Lancashire and Avon collected during the past three decades. Collections in the School of Earth, Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences comprise teaching, research and reference specimens built up since 1970. The specimens from teaching collections (about 200 items) are regularly used by undergraduates, further education students and schools for study and project work. The research collections (c. 1800 specimens) result from the work of academic staff and postgraduate students. They consist of specimens from local Carboniferous rocks, British Triassic sequences countrywide and photographs of ichnofabrics in cores from Jurassic rocks of North Sea oilfields.

Abstract:
Exchange of duplicate specimens was an important element of the relationship between metropolitan and regional museums in the period 1870–1940. Evidence of transfers of botanical museum objects such as economic botany specimens is explored for the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and six museums outside the capital: Cambridge University Botanical Museum, National Museum Wales, Glasgow Museums, Liverpool World Museum, Manchester Museum and Warrington Museum. Botany became an important element in these museums soon after their foundation, sometimes relying heavily on Kew material as in the case of Glasgow and Warrington, and usually with a strong element of economic botany (except in the case of Cambridge). Patterns of exchange depended on personal connections and rarely took the form of symmetrical relationships. Botanical displays declined in importance at various points between the 1920s and 1960s, and today only Warrington Museum has a botanical gallery open to the public. However, botanical objects are finding new roles in displays on subjects such as local history, history of collections, natural history and migration.

The discussion on gender representation within the museum space has been a challenging one during the last four decades, opening a debate on the gendering of museum roles and the use of feminist narratives and museology (Deepwell 2006). This book traces the origin of the multifaceted relationship between museums and women, analyzing the period from 1850 to 1914 in the English context, a crucial moment both for museums and women’s engagement with a changing society.

Poulter, Emma Katherine. "Connecting histories: recontextualising the West African Collection at the Manchester Museum." Thesis, University of Manchester, 2008. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.585531.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis takes a biographical approach to the West African collections at the Manchester Museum, unravelling the historical trajectories these objects have taken through time and space. At the heart of this study are the questions of how and why objects travelled from one side of the Atlantic Ocean to the other. I will also examine the ways they have subsequently been used (or disused), interpreted and understood. Despite a 'culture of amnesia' (Huyssen 1995) which has meant that the majority of these objects have, until now, remained under researched in the museum stores, this thesis shows how objects in the West African collections at the Manchester Museum have dynamic and pertinent stories to tell. Most of Europe's museums and galleries were established during the nineteenth century. As such the life-histories of many of the non-Western objects in these museum collections relate to histories of colonialism and its legacy. Although some museums are beginning to examine these connections in their recently curated displays, many other institutions have avoided tackling these subjects and the questions that they raise. Objects and their meanings exist on various levels, pointing to the specific as well as to the wider contexts in which they were produced, consumed and re-articulated. In addition to this, the meanings of objects are not fixed but shift and accrue over time. Through an interrogation of their materiality, museum objects enable us to unlock these complex, interconnected and often overlooked histories. Integral to these nuances of meaning are the themes of identity, status, memory and hybridity. By piecing together the fragmented archival information which exists about the West African collections at the Manchester Museum, via the use of a database compiled by the author, it is possible to consider the ways in which these themes are linked to and resonate through, objects. Crucial to this thesis is the consideration not only of the stories which objects tell, but also the possibilities for their present and future display that these shared narratives raise. Through a series of case studies this study examines how processes connected to colonialism, trade, industry and empire effected the production of, and interactions with, material culture in specific and tangible ways. As these case studies bring to light, there is much potential to utilise a biographical approach to incorporate new perspectives, shared histories and contemporary meanings relating to these objects into museum displays. Objects actively shape the interactions which take place through and around them. In the last two chapters of this thesis I use the idea of the contact zone (Pratt 1992, Clifford 1997) to demonstrate how the West African collections at the Manchester Museum can be used to facilitate ongoing relationships within the museum today. As I assess in the conclusion, the milieu of critical self-evaluation in which this thesis is located and the growing interest in the meanings of the museum objects, is gradually being reflected in museum practice through its displays as well as its rhetoric. Within this context this thesis shows how, through a biographical approach to objects and by drawing on the contact zone perspective, the museum environment can act as a dialogic arena in which complex meanings and histories can be investigated and debated. 9

Abstract:
This thesis examines the history of the Manchester Art Museum (Manchester, England), which was founded by Thomas Coglan Horsfall (1841-1932) in 1886. It considers the museum’s permanent collections and its programming from 1886 to 1898 with brief notes on the later years of the institution. While, like previous work on the Manchester Art Museum, the thesis contextualizes the museum within Victorian arts and community institutions, it breaks new ground by highlighting the ways in which it diverged from these institutions. The analysis of the museum’s collections and programming emphasizes the contributions that Horsfall and the Art Museum Committee made to museum education through the museum’s circulating loan collections and school tours.

Abstract:
The role of cross field transport and volume recombination are of vital importance for a satisfactory understanding of the plasma edge in magnetically confined devices such as a Tokamak. Plasma fluctuations may travel cross field with significant velocities and play a central role in plasma transport. Cross field transport has been seen to be anomalous in most devices under a very broad range of experimental conditions. In recent years a clear indication of the relation between fluctuation, cross field particle transport and recombination has been reported.The University of Manchester Linear System (the ULS) has been used to observe the Balmer emission of the recombining plasma interacting with a dense neutral Hydrogen gas. The ULS is a device made of a cylindrical vacuum vessel 1.5 m long and 15 cm in radius. The plasma is formed in a separate chamber by a duoplasmatron source in the Demirkhanov configuration; the arc current was limited to 15 A and the potential drop was 100 V. The device is surrounded by a linear solenoid which was used to magnetize the plasma. The highest magnetic field was .1 T. Typical electron temperature in the device spans .1 to 10 eV, and the density 1. E+16 to 5. E+19.Diagnostic includes Langmuir probe and visible spectrometers. In addition, the DivCam imaging system originally designed and built to obtain 2D images of the MAST spherical Tokamak Scrape Off Layer, was used. The DivCam imaging system has enabled to obtain high resolution images of the plasma emission when interacting with the neutral gas. It appears evident that the Electron-Ion Recombination is strongly dependent upon radial transport of plasma particles: light emission attributed to EIR is only observed at a large cross field distance from the plasma source. Moreover, fast imaging of the plasma has also shown the presence of a plasma filament forming and propagating crossfield at the same region of the plasma where the EIR light is observed.To interpret the experimental observations obtained with DivCam, the OSM 1D fluid plasma solver and the EIRENE neutral Monte Carlo solver have been implemented in the linear geometry of the ULS linear system. Both the OSM and the EIRENE solvers were originally intended for tokamak and large magnetic confinement devices. Modelling of the EIR emissivity in the ULS device has demonstrated the importance of the inclusion of turbulent and blob transport in the model to obtain reasonable agreement between the observations and the theoretical predictions. The central density of the plasma filament has been estimated to be approximately .7 E+19 m-3 using EIRENE results.The emission attributed to hydrogenic ions (negative atomic H- and positive molecular ions H2+) and related to Molecular Assisted Recombinations can be estimated within EIRENE using the AMJUEL database. The database provides ion population estimations for three different collisional regimes: in the first regime a large population of vibrational excited hydrogen molecules are assumed to exist within the plasma volume; the second assumes strong Charge Exchange reactions and not vibrational excited molecule; the third assumes electron impact collisions with ground states molecule to be the only ion source. A reasonable agreement between the observations and the EIRENE prediction is only found when using the third estimation suggesting that molecular excitation and charge exchange processes are relatively unimportant under the experimental conditions considered.

Abstract:
Non-fiction film shares a long and relatively uncharted history with the museum. Today, filmmaking is a widespread yet critically neglected area of modern museological practice. This practice-based PhD situates itself within these critical gaps to examine the knowledge producing potential of film archives and film practice at the Manchester Museum. Its primary historical sources are a group of taxidermy objects at the Manchester Museum, an archive of 16mm acetate films at the North West Film Archive and a collection of travel journals at Cheshire Archives and Local Studies. These diverse collections were generated by Maurice Egerton, the 4th Baron of Tatton in Cheshire during his travels in Africa in the first decades of the twentieth century. This thesis brings all three together for the first time since their moment of production. These collections recur throughout the thesis as I ask how film archives can complicate and enrich our understanding of collections and how filmmaking practice might continue to bring new types of knowledge into the museum and archive. Two research films are submitted with and discussed within the thesis. The first, 'Living Worlds at the Manchester Museum', adapts observational methods from visual anthropology to record objects and staff during the re-display of the mammal gallery at the Manchester Museum in 2011. The second, 'Articulating Archives' is the result of a creative collaboration in 2014 with Year 8 secondary school students and the institutions and archives named above. Within the production and analyses of these films I draw on diverse critical sources to suggest that film can illuminate properties of materiality, embodied knowledge and performed engagement that textual accounts fall short of capturing.

The goal of this diploma thesis was area between the city parts Malomerice and Obrany. After the construction of mill drive, an artificial island was created there. Industrial site with textile factories was established in 1912, however it does not fulfil its original purpose anymore and it is fairly damaged today. My intention was to clear the island and bring back its original form - park, unique place in nature where people acknowledge proximity of the river and cultural activities as well. I designed textile museum in the former factory building. It is accompanied by pavilion of Contemporary textile and fashion and also engineering exhibition. One of the components is an artificial canal for canoeists.

Abstract:
Throughout the Pacific, interpersonal encounters are characterized by a deep level of physical intimacy and engagement - from the honi/hongi, the face-to-face greeting, to the ha‘a/haka wero, acts of challenge that also serve as a celebratory acknowledgement of ancestral presences. In these physical exchanges, relationships are built, tended, and tested through an embodied confirmation of values, practices, and ethics. For museums holding Pacific collections, the importance of relationships, and their physicality, persists. The increasing acknowledgment of, and interaction with, communities of origin, whose works reside in museums throughout the world, is thereby not a new practice but the current stage of a continuum of relations that have ebbed and flowed over centuries. This chapter involves the interdisciplinary work of three scholars whose research, interests and collaborations coalesce around concepts of indigenous curatorial practice. Kahanu focusses on Bishop Museum’s E Kū Ana Ka Paia exhibition (2010), which featured important Hawaiian temple images loaned from the British Museum and the Peabody Essex Museum, as well as the Nā Hulu Ali‘i exhibition which gathered Hawaiian featherwork from around the world (2015/2016). She highlights how the Hawaiian practice of he alo a he alo in cross-cultural contexts facilitated these exhibitions, thereby ultimately enabling extensive community engagement. Nepia discusses two recent programs at the University of Hawai‘i, ARTspeak and the Binding and Looping: Transfer of Presence in Contemporary Pacific Art exhibition, as a means of examining how Pacific Island artists articulate contemporary creative practice, particularly as it relates to physical and bodily encounters. Schorch concludes the volume with a coda which historicises Curatopia and its underpinning relations and engagements He Alo A He Alo / Kanohi Ki Te Kanohi / Face to Face.

Full text
Abstract:
From 2006 to 2009, Manchester Museum, University of Manchester, UK, was one of the leading institutions promoting the debate surrounding the ethics of preserving and displaying the dead in museums. The discussion in this chapter analyses the activities of Manchester Museum in relation to human remains within the context of a critical assessment of recent developments in museum practice and the continuing cultural significance of the museum. In particular, the discussion will pay particular attention to the omission of any acknowledgement of the individuals responsible for exhibitions and related events, i.e. the authors of its public discourse. Two case studies will be used to illustrate the discussion: the exhibition, Lindow Man: A Bog Body Mystery (2008–9), and the incident of the ‘covering the mummies’ in April 2008 where three of the twelve Egyptian embalmed bodies on display were fully covered, resulting in a public outcry (Jenkins 2011a; Exell 2013a). Both the exhibition and the ‘covering the mummies’ formed part of a series of high-profile activities related to human remains that took place at Manchester Museum at this time. At the time, I was in post as Curator of Egyptology, and this discussion also illustrates the changing role of subject-specialist curators in relation to exhibition production and other aspects of a museum’s public communications (see Farrar 2004). … ‘There are, as far as we know, no a priori reasons for supposing that scientists’ scientific practice is any more rational than that of outsiders.’ (Latour and Woolgar 1986: 29) ‘Another word for “local knowledges” is prejudice.’ (Sokal 2008: 108)… Working on the public consultation process during the period 2008–10 for the new archaeology and ancient Egypt galleries at Manchester Museum, opened as the Ancient Worlds galleries in October 2012, the general lack of understanding of the exhibition and gallery development process amongst museum visitors became evident. From discussions with participants in the various consultation events (Exell and Lord 2008; Exell 2013a,b), it emerged that people in the institution either regarded the decision-making process as being the sole responsibility of the most relevant subject-specialist curator, or somehow the result of a monolithic and neutral institutional mind (Arnold 1998: 191).

Abstract:
Cultural institutions and higher education establishments in the UK face significant challenges and uncertainties in the present and foreseeable future, particularly in terms of securing ongoing funding in a period of austerity. In an era of constricting budgets, institutions are encouraged to find creative solutions to generating revenue streams and demonstrating impact, which in turn, offers ample opportunities for innovation and mutual benefit through collaboration between the academic and heritage sectors. This chapter focuses on the ‘REALab' consultancy programme, piloted and funded by the University of Manchester, which allowed a group of multidisciplinary researchers to address representation and inclusion of underrepresented groups at the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester. The chapter is presented as a case study into the collaboration process between academic and heritage institutions. It will discuss the methods and success of the project and evaluate the importance of the interactive and innovative profile of the museum in the process.

Abstract:
A few years ago, my students and I organized an exhibition of contemporary photography from mainland China, presented in our small university-run gallery in Portland. The project began with a call for photographs, which we forwarded to Chinese art schools, museums, and cultural institutions; to individual artists, photographers, and photojournalists; and through Chinese social media channels such as Weibo and WeChat. We asked people to email photographs of contemporary life in the PRC and to consider, but not limit themselves to, themes such as urbanization versus developments in the rural countryside, the impact of foreign cultures on local identities, the environmental impacts of globalization, and gender issues amid societal shifts. We grew giddy at the abundant response. Hundreds of photographs streamed into our class’s inbox. For the most part, the senders were previously unknown to me and my students. These strangers’ submissions allowed us to see, through their eyes, a fuller representation of the PRC, a place whose modern and contemporary art we had been studying mainly through past exhibitions, scholarly articles, and survey texts....

Abstract:
The mummy of Takabuti is one of the best known antiquities in the Ulster Museum, Belfast. Takabuti lived at the capital city of Thebes in Egypt in the 25<sup>th</sup> Dynasty (c. 600 BCE), where she enjoyed a privileged and wealthy lifestyle. In 2008/2009, the mummy underwent a series of in-depth scientific analyses at the Ulster Museum, Queen’s University Belfast, John Moores University, Liverpool, and the Universities of Manchester, Cardiff and Dundee. These revealed more information about her life and death. Now, current investigations have revealed new evidence about her ancestry, living conditions, health, and the intriguing possibility that she met a violent and untimely death. Takabuti lived in a time of great uncertainty and upheaval when Egypt was under foreign occupation. Purchased at an Egyptian “mummy market” by a wealthy Ulsterman, Takabuti created a sensation when she was brought to Belfast in 1834, and donated to the Belfast Natural History and Philosophical Society. Following the custom prevalent in the mid-19<sup>th</sup> century, the Society’s members unwrapped the mummy in 1835, presided over by Dr Edward Hincks, a renowned Egyptologist and Assyriologist.
