Abstract:

The Grindon Herbarium is unusual in having a very high proportion of botanical illustrations and articles integrated into its systematic arrangement of the specimens. Hitherto unpublished extracts from Grindon's own history and description of his herbarium reveal his intentions in regard to the herbarium's combined specimen and documentary content. An appendix based on new work in the herbarium, listing virtually all significant source publications, example illustrations and their locations, provides a guide to this aspect of the Grindon Herbarium, and gives some indication of the scope of bot

Abstract:

Sir William Flinders Petrie (the grandson of Captain Matthew Flinders who explored the coast of Australia between 1797 and 1803) had a brilliant career as an archaeologist that spanned five decades, and his contribution to the subject in developing scientific methodologies for excavation is unparallelled. Initially, it was Amelia B. Edwards, a founder of The Egypt Exploration Fund in London, who recognised Petrie’s genius, and ensured that he was recruited as one of the Fund’s first archaeologists. However, disagreements with the Committee led to a parting of the ways, and in 1886, he had no e

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

Dr Michael Eagar (The Manchester Museum, The University, Manchester M13 9PL) writes: *In 1915 we received from *Hy.

In the normal course of events I can trace such acquisitions by means of the details given in the Museum Reports. However, this acquisition arrived during war-time and the usual details were not provided. I suspect that my predecessor, the late J. Wilfred Jackson, knew just what was involved in the Earwaker collection, but this was one of the matters he did not mention to me and subsequently

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 under

Abstract From the 1990s, a re-ignition of interest in co-operatives took place in a rapidly globalising world, a process which gained further momentum in the wake of the 2007–2008 financial crises. Under Mervyn Wilson, the College sold Stanford Hall and moved back to Manchester where, in the absence of a regular cohort of students, it searched for a new working model based upon supporting existing and new forms of co-operative and mutual enterprise. It established a new Heritage Trust to maintain the National Co-operative Archive and Rochdale Pioneers Museum. International development work was

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

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 relat

Abstract In the summer of 1998, Manchester City Council coordinated a series of cele bratory events in and around the city centre, to honour (and generate) the memory of a machine: to be specific, a computer dubbed ‘the Baby’. This was the first electronic computer to be built with a working stored program, and it was fifty years since it had been persuaded finally to calculate something by its designers, who were based at the Victoria University of Manchester. The cele brations included building a precise replica of the machine, at a cost of over 1 million pounds, as well as a full programme

Abstract Despite the occasional presence of many interesting and creative characters, Oxford was scarcely to be reckoned a major centre in the physical sciences until well into the present century. In the 1800s it could hardly be mentioned in the same breath as the main German and Scottish universities, Paris, or even Dublin; and in the last third of the nineteenth century it could not bear comparison with Cambridge, Manchester, Vienna, or the Zurich polytechnic. The medieval and early modern beginnings of the subject in the collegiate University were well and truly noted by the first Curator

After leaving Parliament in 1895, Roscoe became Vice-Chancellor of the University of London and oversaw its conversion into a teaching university in 1900.

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 c
