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?

Full text

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.

Abstract:

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.

Abstract:

John Maddox was a man of prodigious energy, blessed by an astonishing memory, and with a deep understanding of broad swathes of science. As a lecturer at the University of Manchester he seemed set on an academic career and was widely regarded as the most promising member of an outstanding group of young theoreticians. Yet during five years he published no papers, other than an unsigned account in Nature in 1951 of the newly opened Joule Museum in Salford. He suffered, it was thought, from want of confidence in writing up his work, but then came his precipitate move to the Manchester Guardian , where he at once began to publish profusely. From then on, printer's ink coursed through his veins: his devotion to journalism endured to the end of his life, and brought him high distinction.

Full text

Abstract:

X-ray micro-tomography (XMT) and 3D image-based modelling software has unlocked the ability to digitally repair distorted or broken fossil specimens, thus permitting interpretation of previously unusable finds in finite element analyses (FEA). A fossilized terminal ungual phalanx from the manus of the dromaeosaur Velociraptor mongoliensis (Manchester Museum, University of Manchester, specimen LL.12392) was scanned at the Henry Moseley X-ray Imaging Facility. Inspection of radiographs revealed the Velociraptor manual ungual was broken in several places, previously going unnoticed due to cement repair of the fossil. After conducting a high resolution scan of the ungual the increased sensitivity of the apparatus enabled separation of areas of differing density, in this case the fossilized bone and cement. Image-based modelling software produced by Simpleware (Simpleware Ltd, Rennes Drive, Exeter, EX4 4RN, UK.) allowed slice-by-slice repair in three planes, resulting in a complete, fully stitched 3D digital model of the ungual, whilst maintaining internal cavities and the micron resolution reconstruction of trabecular bone architecture. This software also has the capability to digitally re-inflate specimens that have been compressed during fossilization, restoring skeletons to their original shape and dimension. 3D dissections on geometrically precise reconstructions allow the interpretation of previously unusable specimens and reinterpretation of already described fossils. Further, use of Simpleware software to convert repaired fossils into microstructurally-faithful finite element meshes enable the biomechanical testing of these repaired structures. Testing of fossil structure and function is already underway at the University of Manchester and is adding to our knowledge of the mechanical behaviour of extinct animal biomaterials.

Abstract:

Before the Second World War, few scholars knew how to incorporate science, technology and medicine into social, political or economic history. Nowadays many historians know the methods: university courses, books and (some) museums manifest their skills. For the ‘greats’ of science, and for many lesser figures and groups, we are able to relate scientific ‘works’ to ‘lives’, contexts and audiences, with an analytical sophistication matching the best of current intellectual and cultural history. This progress in historiography owes much to the intellectual and institutional bases built in the 1950s and 1960s, not least in the universities of northern England. Among the pioneers, Donald Cardwell was a perspicacious and persistent innovator, especially in Manchester, where he helped develop both a school of historians and a marvellous museum of science and industry.

Abstract:

In this paper – given as a lecture at Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study in the summer of 2003 – I survey the remarkable renaissance of museums – national and regional, public and private – in Britain in recent years, largely made possible with the financial support of the Heritage Lottery Fund. I look in detail at four non-national museum projects of particular interest: the Horniman Museum in South London, a remarkable and idiosyncratic collection of anthropological, natural history and musical material which has recently been re-housed and redisplayed; secondly, the nearby Dulwich Picture Gallery, famous for its 17th- and 18th-century Old Master paintings, a masterpiece of 19th-century architecture by Sir John Soane, which has been restored, and modern museum services provided. The third is the New Art Gallery, Walsall, where the Garman Ryan collection of early 20th-century painting and sculpture form the centrepiece of a new building with fine galleries and the forum is the Manchester Art Gallery, where the former City Art Gallery and the Athenaeum have been combined in a single building in which to display the city's rich art collections. The Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, of which I am Director, is the most important museum of art and archaeology in England outside London and the greatest University Museum in the world. Its astonishingly rich collections are introduced and the transformational plan for the museum is described. In July 2005 the Heritage Lottery Fund announced a grant of £15 million and the renovation of the Museum is now underway.

Abstract:

Public engagement is a key element of social responsibility within UK universities and there are various opportunities for academics and postgraduates to engage with the public, for example, by running events at local museums or giving talks at community venues. Engaging the public in thinking about their health is a key target for the Department of Health and interactive public engagement events offer an excellent opportunity to achieve this. In this paper, we explore the feasibility and acceptability of running a public engagement event entitled ‘Is your health in your hands?’, which consisted of various hands–on table–top activities to get people thinking about various aspects of their health, such as healthy eating, behaviour change, health risks, and genetics. Approximately 300 individuals attended the event, which was held at the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester, and 29 attendees provided event evaluation. The event was perceived as educational and interesting, providing attendees with knowledge of key health issues. The most popular activities were those that targeted healthy eating and provided messages about ‘hidden nasties’ in foods. These kinds of events provide an opportunity for academics and postgraduates to engage the public in thinking about their health in a way that is perceived as both useful and enjoyable.

Full text

Abstract:

Agelenidae is a species rich and globally-distributed spider family comprising 1274 species in 77 genera (World Spider Catalog 2018). In Iran, this family is currently represented by eight species in four genera (Zamani et al. 2018). Being the second largest genus of the family (after Draconarius Ovtchinnikov, 1999), Tegenaria Latreille, 1804, currently encompasses 105 species that are primarily distributed in the Palaearctic (World Spider Catalog 2018; Marusik & Zamani 2015). So far, four species of this genus are known from Iran: Tegenaria domestica (Clerck, 1758) (western, northern, central and eastern Iran), T. lenkoranica (Guseinov et al., 2005) (northern Iran), T. pagana C.L. Koch, 1840 (northern Iran), and the endemic T. zamanii Marusik et Omelko, 2014 (northern Iran) (Zamani et al. 2018). Two of these species, T. lenkoranica and T. zamanii have been reported from caves (Malek-Hosseini & Zamani 2017). Considering the lack of studies on this genus in Iran, many species are undoubtedly awaiting to be discovered. During the biospeleological investigations of Zagros Mountains, a new species of Tegenaria was collected in western Iran, which is described and illustrated in this paper. The specimens were photographed using an Olympus Camedia E-520 camera attached to an Olympus SZX16 stereomicroscope and digital images were prepared using “CombineZP” image stacking software. Leg ratios were measured on the dorsal side and all measurements are given in millimeters. Measurements of leg are listed as: total length (femur, patella, tibia, metatarsus, tarsus). Standard abbreviations were used for the eyes: AME, anterior median eyes; ALE, anterior lateral eyes; PME, posterior median eyes; PLE, posterior lateral eyes. The specimens will be deposited in the Manchester Museum of the University of Manchester (MMUE).

Full text

Abstract:

The production of millions of artificially mummified animals by the ancient Egyptians is an extraordinary expression of religious piety. Millions of creatures of numerous species were preserved, wrapped in linen and deposited as votive offerings; a means by which the Egyptians communicated with their gods. The treatment of animals in this manner resulted in a wealth of material culture; the excavation and distribution of which formed a widely dispersed collection of artefacts in museum and private collections around the world. Due to ad hoc collection methods and the poorly recorded distribution of animal mummies, many artefacts have unknown or uncertain provenance. Researchers at the University of Manchester identified a group of eight mummies positively attributed to the 1913–1914 excavation season at Abydos, now held in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Massachusetts. This paper presents the investigation of this discreet group of provenanced mummies through stylistic evaluation of the exterior, and the assessment of the contents and construction techniques employed using clinical radiography. Dating of one mummy places the artefact—and likely that of the whole assemblage—within the Late Period (c.664–332BC). Considering these data enables the mummies to be interpreted as the Egyptians intended; as votive artefacts produced within the sacred landscape at Abydos.

Abstract:

Thomas Hincks was born 15 July 1818 in Exeter, England. He attended Manchester New College, York, from 1833 to 1839, and received a B.A. from the University of London in 1840. In 1839 he commenced a 30-year career as a cleric, and served with distinction at Unitarian chapels in Ireland and England. Meanwhile, he enthusiastically pursued interests in natural history. A breakdown in his health and permanent voice impairment during 1867–68 while at Mill Hill Chapel, Leeds, forced him reluctantly to resign from active ministry in 1869. He moved to Taunton and later to Clifton, and devoted much of the rest of his life to natural history. Hincks was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1872 for noteworthy contributions to natural history. Foremost among his publications in science were A history of the British hydroid zoophytes (1868) and A history of the British marine Polyzoa (1880). Hincks named 24 families, 52 genera and 360 species and subspecies of invertebrates, mostly Bryozoa and Hydrozoa. Hincks died 25 January 1899 in Clifton, and was buried in Leeds. His important bryozoan and hydroid collections are in the Natural History Museum, London. At least six genera and 13 species of invertebrates are named in his honour.

Abstract:

Spiritualism enjoys an equivocal reputation not unlike that of wrestling – for whatever their intrinsic qualities, both benefit greatly from the trappings of showmanship. Supposed spiritualist mediums first manifested themselves during the Victorian era, which seems to have been highly susceptible to such fraudsters as the American Davenport brothers – whose touring ‘seances’ were, however, greeted with rather more scepticism in the North of England than in London. While audiences seemed to enjoy the way in which such demonstrations of spiritual possession were presented in a manner resembling a professional conjuring act, professional conjurers were properly offended by such presumption. So, too, was the young Henry Irving, who, with two companions, took up a challenge in The Era, the newspaper of the variety profession, to emulate the mystical achievements of the Davenports. The following paper, which was originally presented in July 1995 at the Theatre Museum as part of the celebrations of the centenary of Irving's knighthood, traces the rise and development of the spiritualist craze, and illuminates this previously obscure aspect of Irving's career. Helen Nicholson is currently completing her PhD on the life of the Victorian actress and singer Georgina Weldon, before taking up an appointment as a drama lecturer in the English Department at Manchester Metropolitan University. She has published articles on Georgina Weldon in Occasional Papers on Women and Theatre, on the Victorian supernatural, and on Victorian fairies in History Workshop Journal.

Abstract:

The paper scrutinizes written sources on large-scale food donations in the Denderite nome in the First Intermediate Period. These are the inscriptions of the “royal seal-bearer, sole companion” Neferyu, the “sole companion” Hornakht, the “royal seal-bearer, lector-priest, overseer of soldiery” Shensetji, the “sole companion” whose name is destroyed – the owner of Manchester University Museum fragments 2869+2897. Treating these texts in connection with the issue of food shortages, scholars have not paid much attention to their context ̶ official statuses of their owners, peculiarities of the monuments, etc. Meanwhile, such data cast a new light on incentives for boasting of making lavish food donations in Denderite autobiographies. The inscriptions in question do not conform to the widely embraced theory by J.C. Moreno Garcia that the theme of food shortages was introduced in autobiographies with the purpose “to detach a territory from the surrounding chaos and to extoll the activities of local governors”, and that it was “restricted to the spheres of the provincial governors”. None of the inscriptions under discussion assert that there is chaos and famine outside of Dendera, and the official statuses of Neferiu, Hornakht and Shensetji are relatively low. At the same time, the funerary monuments of the persons in question look very expensive; three of them even owned mastabas which at Dendera of that time was an indicator of wealth and elite status. The author argues that these Denderites highlighted their generous food donations primarily in order to justify their moral right to their monuments which otherwise would have seemed far too sumptuous for the persons not belonging to the administrative elite.

Abstract:

This co-authored project report considers the polarity of the ephemeral (concept, memory, recollection) with the material aspect of creativity, as it manifests itself in the related yet complimentary practices of writing and drawing. The craft of drawing is complex and hybrid, more akin to writing processes as a means of embodying and making physical through gesture, than many other art forms and processes that rely on material presence. Writing and drawing materialize memory, ideas and projective thought and attempt to manifest their transience. The joint project research (Clarke|Rohr) was originally presented as a contribution to ‘Drawings of, Drawings by and Drawings with …’ chaired by Ray Lucas (Manchester University) for the conference Art, Materiality and Representation, Royal Anthropological Institution, SOAS/British Museum, in June 2018. We are grateful for the opportunity to further evaluate and publish the progression of the project in this issue of DRTP. The idea for a collaborative drawing project that involves text|image translations was borne from conversations between Niamh Clarke and Doris Rohr. Clarke perceived visual, structural and textual affinities between the modernist novel The Waves by Virginia Woolf and the drawings of waves by the Latvian American photorealist artist Vija Celmins. This prompted an experimental project: what type of textual responses might be found in another’s drawing, and, in turn, what type of visual drawn image might be generated in response to a short text of creative writing? We decided to limit the postal exchange of material to three A4 drawings and three individual short excerpts of poetry or prose. It was agreed that we would monitor our personal reactions, emotions and analysis of the process and store the responses via a shared digital platform (Google Drive). The project’s premise was to interrogate image and text relationships and the possibilities to translate or influence one through the other. Our aim is to explore materiality and subject matter through drawing with a mediated sense of authorship.

Abstract:

The British Museum and the National Museum of Wales have lent the finds from Kendrick's Cave, in Llandudno, north Wales, for display and storage at Llandudno Museum; and the British Museum has sent the famous body from Lindow Moss, near Manchester, to be shown at the Manchester Museum, 100km away in England. How should metropolitan or national museums relate to provincial museums? Should there be more such loans? The exhibition in Manchester deliberately raises another question too: how – if at all – should human remains be displayed?

Abstract:

On 22 May 2017, a homemade bomb was detonated in the foyer of Manchester Arena as people were leaving the Ariana Grande concert. Twenty-three people (including the bomber) were killed and over 800 were injured. Within hours of the attack, people of Manchester began to leave flowers, candles, soft toys, balloons, written notes and other items in St Ann’s Square and other locations around the city. In June 2017, the Manchester City Council tasked Manchester Art Gallery to oversee the removal and collection of material objects from St Ann’s Square. Manchester Art Gallery ultimately stored more than 10,000 objects to form what is now known as the ‘Manchester Together Archive’ of the public response to the Manchester Arena attack. An associated research project, co-designed by the author with Manchester Art Gallery staff, aimed to document creatively the evolving thinking, interactions with different stakeholders and decision-making about the archive, as well as the impact of those decisions on institutional life, policy and practice.After reviewing the literature on museum practices around spontaneous memorials, this paper goes on to critically reflect on how cultural professionals in Manchester addressed the gap in their experience with spontaneous memorials by adapting or diverting from standard collecting processes. It aims to demonstrate that this was a creative process of negotiating the interaction between their professional ethics and a strong sense of civic and social responsibility, which led to a new museum practice altogether. The paper argues that this museum practice was also the result of accepting and inviting the migration of the memorial’s characteristics (as a public, spontaneous and mass participation heritage performance) into the resulting Manchester Together Archive and the collecting process itself. This meant that the archive was not a ‘collection’ of the spontaneous memorial, but another form and manifestation of the memorial itself, which offered a perspective of cultural remembrance that is driven by a focus on process, rather than permanence. The paper concludes with some brief thoughts on how this new museum practice around the Manchester Together Archive is impacting already on Manchester Art Gallery’s broader policy and practice and its process of rethinking its spaces, activity and engagement with its publics.

Abstract:

In 2016, the University of Manchester (UoM) and the University of Manchester Students’ Union (UMSU) embarked on a more strategic, collaborative working approach to engage students in a broader range of enrichment opportunities. Having worked closely together for a number of years on prescribed activities, such as student induction and co-leading support for Resident Associations, student committees, a more meaningful partnership was perceived to increase transformational impact through engaging students in modes of activity championed recently under the banner of students as partners, researchers and change agents. With the Teaching and Learning Support Office (TLSO), a REACT project was designed to narrow the gap between staff and students through a more collaborative relationship. To that end, our project ‘Manchester in Partnership’ worked on two themes, the first looking at engaging students as researchers to identify engagement patterns with the MyManchester online student portal and the second focusing on creating a series of staff and student discussion seminars about the learning experience. This project has ignited further work engaging students as researchers, student review teams as well as further work around institutional dialogue, the student charter and student representation models. This case study will outline the journey from an isolated REACT project to a broader range of activities highlighting underpinning rationale, implementation, intended impact and benefits already realised.
