Abstract:

Abstract The museum sector has changed in the past decades, becoming for dynamic, diverse, interactive, participative and innovative. All this shifts make museums more and more appealing and increase the level of satisfaction of museum visits. Understanding to what degree the public perceives and appreciate these trends, could give museum management hints to better fit their development strategies to the audience. Generally, perceptions are very important for appealing organizations. This is valid also for museums. Museum’s image influences the audience’s satisfaction. Perceptions are important for successful museum visits in many ways. Having this is mind, the present study investigates how participative and innovative are considered Romanian museums.

Abstract:

Relevance. The object of this research is the managerial culture in the museums of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The study considers a management culture in museums on a large scale, as museums of the Republic of Kazakhstan are a part of the world culture and their development occurs not in self-isolation from the world, but in this world, though in time of experiencing economic and political crises, and in time of a pandemic. Purpose. The paper examines the general history of museum development in Kazakhstan, management culture, and management itself. The management culture is shown from ethical and practical sides. The study demonstrates management as a new strategy of museum management in the modern world. The basic work of museums and their reaction to challenges of the modern world is also briefly shown, i.e., the new role of museums in the modern world is considered. Methodology. The desk research method was used: analysis of modern research of the last three years on the museums of the Republic of Kazakhstan, management culture and management in museums. Results/Conclusions. The article concludes that museums, despite their conservatism, can respond to the challenges of the time and adapt to the needs of society. Moreover, the culture of management in museums is changing in order to dictate to society what is relevant and interesting, rather than passively fulfilling its demands. The management culture dictates to museum workers new approaches to effective museum management, and the museum has become not only a centre of history and culture preservation but also an active centre of public education.

Abstract:

Os museus passam por transformações, novas funções se reorganizam e novos desafios são levados a essa instituição. Após anos de crítica da sociedade e academia ao museu, pela forma fechada como operava e interpretava coleções, há um movimento de transformação. Os processos de descolonização do museu etnográfico vêm trazendo grandes avanços, também porque essa categoria de museu passa pelo processo de indigenização. A comunicação museológica tem papel preponderante tanto na descolonização quanto na indigenização, pois promove o diálogo entre profissionais de museus e indígenas. O artigo apresenta situações em que o museu, em fase de transição entre modelos, é analisado pela Comunicação, considerando o deslocamento dos meios para as mediações, ou seja, do museu para a cultura, no caso tratado as culturas Kaingang, Terena e Guarani Nhandeva, tendo como locus o oeste do estado de São Paulo. Os resultados da ação de comunicação museológica revelam dois aspectos a serem aprofundados pelo museu: a política de gestão de acervo e a ressacralização do museu.Palavras-chave: Indígenas no Oeste Paulista; Políticas museais; Descolonização dos museus. ABSTRACT: Museums are undergoing changes, new roles are created for, and new challenges are posed to those institutions. After years of criticism levelled by society and academia at museums for the closed manner in which they ran and interpreted collections, a transformation is now underway. The decolonization of ethnographic museums has made major advances, especially because this type of museum is currently being indigenized. Museal communication plays a key role both in decolonization and indigenization, because it fosters dialogue between museum professionals and indigenous people. The article describes situations where museums, which are undergoing a transition between different models, are analyzed by Communication, considering the move from the means to mediation, in other words, from museums to culture, specifically the cultures of the Kaingang, Terenaand and Guarani Nhandeva indigenous people who live in the west of the state of São Paulo. The results of the museal communication initiative show two aspects to be explored by museums: The collection management policy and the renewed sacralization of museums.Keywords: Indigenous people in the west of the state of São Paulo; Museum policies; Decolonizing Museums.

Abstract:

This article considers the development of the network of museums in Ural Region in 1923–1934. The author examines the features of the Ural museums, such as formation, organization, management, typology, educational activities, interaction with the Soviet authorities, the relationship of museums and the Ural local history movement, as well as the influence of state policy. Museums emerged in the Urals in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. During the post-revolutionary period, i.e. in 1917–1923, in many ways due to the purposeful state policy, new institutions appeared in the museum network. The reorganization of the administrative and territorial division in the Urals influenced the interaction between the local authorities and the museums subordinate to them. The introduction of a new economic policy in 1921 positively influenced the activity of the museums. Local history organizations and societies actively conducted scientific and educational work on their basis. With the creation of the super-region, Ural Region, in 1924, the museum activity on its territory was directed at implementing the decisions of the RSFSR People’s Commissariat for Education. Based on data sent to the museum subdivision of the Ural Public Education Department, the author reconstructs the museum system of the region as of 1926. The results of the analysis make it possible to speak about the inefficiency of the accounting and control of museums by the Ural Public Education Department. In addition to the complex management of museums, the museum industry also faced other problems. Throughout the 1920s, the material and normative consolidation of the museum network took place. By the early 1930s, the rejection of the new economic policy was followed by the ideological rethinking of the museum’s functions. The museum and local history movement shifted its focus from education and excursion activity to propaganda and political-educational tasks. The author draws a conclusion about the contradictions in the development of museums in the Soviet Urals between the 1920s and the early 1930s characterized by the complexity of management, weakness of material resources, low financing of the creation of the new Soviet museum. The paper refers to documents of the State Archive of Sverdlovsk Region.

Abstract:

Changes in the legislation related to museum curators and museology, introduced with small steps in harmony with the Overton Window concept, are discussed; they are leading away from the letter and spirit of the Act on Museums of 21 Nov 1996 and the traditions of Polish museology based on creating collections of museum objects and working on them in various manners. Regulations and legal opinions on the museum curator profession are presented, pointing to the fact that the initially cohesive definitions and provisions are becoming blurred, to the extent of losing their initial sense, and threatening the identity of this professional group, as well as the identity of museums as heritage-preserving organizations. Furthermore, attempts to extend the concept of museum curator to encompass also the institution’s executives or the entire museum staff undertaken in order to depreciate this professional group and deprive it of the impact on the institution’s management have been signalled. A tendency has been observed to deprive the employees fulfilling the museum’s basic activity, museum curators included, of the influence on shaping state policies with respect to museology, this clearly illustrated by the composition of the Council for Museums and National Memorial Sites. Provisions of the labour legislation as regards professions of public trust museum curators aspire to join have been quoted. Mention has also been made of certain activities they have undertaken to prevent the process of de-professionalising the profession of a museum curator in the museum-related legislation, and to subsequently reverse it. The 2016 Bill on Museum Collections and on Museums prepared by the National Section for Museums and Institutions for the Preservation of Historical Monuments of the Solidarity Trade Union has been presented. The main demands of the Bill have been pointed to: the consolidation of the status of museum collections as the main purpose of the museum’s raison d’être, the status of a museum curator as a profession of public trust, and the shift in museum management from technocratic (New Public Management) to modern, aiming to serve the national heritage and people in harmony with the principles of the New Public Service.

Abstract:

Objective: This paper aims to review the function of marketing in the field of museum management and offers practical and creative solutions for museums to successfully balance the conflict between the museums’ sustainable operation and their original functions, such as education and preservation. Methodology: The research is mainly based on long-term observations of museum management and marketing in both China and Spain. A review and analysis of previous studies has been conducted to build the context. Results: The implementation of appropriate marketing methods by way of cross-industry cooperation and new technologies can not only assist museums in financial issues but could also result in a win-win outcome which could promote the original mission of museums. Limitations: This article is mainly based on the Chinese and Spanish contexts, however, some relevant features of other countries have also been described. Practical implications: The suggested strategies mentioned in this paper contribute to the development of practical marketing methods for Spanish museums, oriented towards meeting the need for sustainable operation, and ways to communicate to the public at large, in accordance with the museum’s key objectives.

Abstract:

The presence of the sea in Portuguese museums, monuments and sites is formidable, a multifaceted heritage providing experiences transposing history, exploration, industry, commerce, lifestyles, technologies, architecture, popular and fine arts. muSEAum focused on management competencies for the competitive exploration of museums’ characteristics, environment, and collection. The co-innovation project with a nationwide sample of sea-themed museological institutions – not just maritime or marine museums -- addressed the definition, management and communication of the museum brand, the benefits of a Sea Museum of Portugal collective brand, visitor experience technologies, national and international reach and awareness, spirit of belonging, new learning partnerships, and local tourism. Research on audiences and management practices provided a solid evaluation basis. Notwithstanding some noteworthy, good practices, most institutions suffer from insufficient funding and administrative autonomy. Promotional efforts are geared towards local constituencies leading to residual national and international visibility, affecting particularly those off tourist circuits. Incipient or inexistant brands, inefficient or non-existent websites, inconspicuous SEO and digital marketing activities, own domain names a rarity keep many museums absconded in the internet maelstrom.

Abstract:

Abstract Museums are increasingly more connected to the concerns of the present-day society. In order to be actively involved in the development of the society and well-being of their communities, museums are more connected than ever, are active partners for their stakeholders. Having this new framework in mind, the present paper investigates the complex relationships between stakeholders and museums, as well as the role stakeholders could have to achieve the museum’s sustainable development. The present paper investigates how Romanian museums are using the stakeholder management approach to ensure their sustainable development. The interviews reveal why the funding bodies are considered by far the most important stakeholders. Other museums are generally ranked among the most important partners, along with local cultural organizations and educational ones. Sustainable development and increased impact on the museum’s community are constant concerns, but the main stakeholders and partners are rather narrowly considered.

Abstract:

Marketing communication is a concise part of modern museum management. Museums operate in a competitive environment; therefore, it is important to pay sustained attention to every component of a given museum’s marketing communication. Changes, international trends, and visitor preferences have an influence on marketing communication. Museum management must devote expert deliberation towards determining which components of their marketing communication are significant for museum visitors. Moreover, the effectiveness of the use of expenses plays an important role in museum management; it is also essential to combine effectively the individual components of marketing communication. The present research aims to find a correlation between the components of museum marketing communication, which is not being addressed in detail in the contemporary research. The aim of the research is therefore to determine the dependence amongst elements of the marketing communication of museums on questioning the visitors. The aim was achieved by implementing the modern audit approach and empirical research into marketing communication: the Paper Aided Personal Interview (PAPI) method with a Likert scale, a reliability check with Cronbach’s alpha, and dependency determination with Pearson’s correlation. All results were investigated through the use of a questionnaire on the international EU 27 sample of museum visitors. These conclusions allow museum management to build their marketing communication on the principles of Economy, Efficiency, and Effectiveness (the 3E principles).

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThe Ho‘omaka Hou Research Initiative is a collaborative research endeavor that is primarily focused on the analysis of the Bishop Museum’s Archaeology Collections. The goal of Ho‘omaka Hou (which literally means “to begin again”) is to encourage continued work with these invaluable museum collections, and to bring together researchers and students with various research interests in order to learn more about the past. In addition to conducting research on museum collections using the most up-to-date methods in the field of archaeology, we are building a digital inventory of the collections. This integrated approach highlights the relevance of archaeological collections housed in museums for informing researchers about the past, and also emphasizes the need for modernizing digital inventories to safeguard these collections for the future.

Abstract:

Queering Australian Museums addresses the problem of how queer or LGBTIQ communities can be further included in Australian museums on their own terms. It looks at four areas of museums—management, collections, exhibitions, and connections with audiences and communities—to consider barriers and enablers of queer inclusion in these often heteronormative institutions. Case studies of queer-inclusive efforts in public Australian museums are interpreted from institutional and community perspectives drawn from 25 interviews. The interviews are put into critical conversation with archival material and literature from museum studies and the emerging field of queer museology. The study evaluates the visibility of the history, cultures, and identities of queer communities in Australian museums. It establishes that many public representations of queerness have been driven by the efforts of LGBTIQ communities, particularly through community-based heritage organisations. It also gathers and reflects upon examples of critical queer inclusion that have occurred in public museums. Using these exemplars, it argues that queer communities should be empowered to make decisions about their own heritage with the support of museums and their unique attributes; that individual and organisational leadership, involving queer individuals and allies, should be brought to bear on this task; and that effectively navigating the tensions between museums and queer communities requires mutual understanding and accommodation. Through the process of queering the museum, it is suggested, each party might be transformed, leading to LGBTIQ diversity being valued as an integral part of society. The thesis addresses the gap in Australian museum studies literature on queer or LGBTIQ inclusion compared with Euro-American settings. It further contributes original case studies to the international field of queer museology, and to museum studies literature on including and empowering diverse communities. Both recognising the agency of queer communities and also engaging with the language and conventions of museums, it constructs a distinct account of how to navigate the historical tensions between the two. It thereby aims to enrich museum offerings for all audiences on the terms of those erstwhile excluded.

Abstract:

No decorrer dos últimos vinte e oito anos, o governo do Estado de São Paulo vem empenhando esforços para o que, atualmente, tem chamado de \"municipalização\" da Rede de Museus Históricos e Pedagógicos do Estado de São Paulo. Tal conjunto, reconhecido como a primeira e maior rede de museus do País, criado, em sua grande parte, por Vinício Stein Campos - profissional da educação -, ao longo dos anos foi entendido como de caráter eminentemente municipal; a partir disto, compreendeu-se no cerne da Secretaria de Estado da Cultura, que tais acervos deveriam ser legitimamente devolvidos a seus municípios, dadas as suas características e significado junto às comunidades locais. O texto Museus Históricos e Pedagógicos no Século XXI: processo de municipalização e novas perspectivas pretende levantar, registrar e analisar o desenrolar do processo de municipalização dos Museus Históricos e Pedagógicos do Estado de São Paulo, ainda em andamento, e as possíveis modificações que poderá trazer a estas instituições, tanto em aspectos administrativos quanto técnicos e conceituais. A partir de um panorama geral da constituição da Rede de Museus Históricos e Pedagógicos, desenvolvida no decorrer das décadas de 1950, 1960 e 1970, examinam-se, inicialmente, as motivações para a transferência de tutela dos acervos estaduais, localizados no interior de São Paulo, aos municípios que os sediam. Posto isto, pondera-se, por meio da realização de estudos de caso, sobre os impactos que tal processo gerou e vem gerando nestas instituições museológicas, bem como avaliam-se as possíveis perspectivas a elas oferecidas sob o aspecto da gestão, tanto museológica como de equipamentos municipais de cultura.
The State Government of São Paulo has applied its efforts in the past twenty eight years in order to accomplish the currently so called municipalization of the Statewide Historic and Pedagogical Museums Network of São Paulo. This set of museums, recognized as the first and largest museums network of the country and mostly created by Vinício Stein Campos (pedagogical professional), was understood, throughout the years, as having an eminently municipal nature; for this reason, the Secretary of State for Culture, at its core, realized that these collections should be legitimately given back to their towns due to their characteristics and meanings concerning the local communities. The text Historic and Pedagogical Museums in the 21st century: municipalization process and new perspectives intends to research, register and analyze the development of the process of municipalization of the Historic and Pedagogical Museums of São Paulo, which is still in progress, and the possible changes it may bring to these institutions, concerning management, technical and conceptual issues. Starting from a general overview of the constitution of the Historic and Pedagogical Museums Network, developed during the decades of 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, were examined, at first, the motivation for the custody transference of the statewide collections, located in São Paulo countryside, to their host towns. As a result, it analyzes, through the realization of case studies, the impacts such process has been generating over these museological institutions, and also evaluates the possible perspectives it gives to them concerning management, both museological management and municipal culture device management.

Abstract:

This thesis suggests a conflict management model for the resolution of conflicts that occur during the in-situ conservation and presentation of archaeological remains that are discovered as a result of development projects. More specifically, the thesis examines the extent to which the creation of in-situ museums---museums that are usually located in the basements of modern buildings and preserve archaeological remains in situ---can function as a compromise solution among the conflicting parties. The thesis is divided into eight chapters. The first chapter presents the research aims and objectives of the thesis while the second chapter analyses the methodological approaches. The third chapter reviews from a critical point of view the basic conflict management theories that have been developed by a variety of disciplines including economics, management science and sociology. This chapter identifies the key conflict elements and suggests a descriptive conflict management model. This model constitutes a tool for analysing the conflict situations in the case studies. Chapter four conceptualises the case of in-situ museums and explores how some of their distinctive characteristics play a role in conflict genesis, escalation and resolution. The next three chapters analyse conflict situations within the theoretical framework and discourse that have been presented in the two previous ones. Chapter 5 examines conflict situations that arose when archaeological remains were discovered during the construction of private works. Chapter 6 analyses examples of conflicts that relate to the discovery of archaeological remains during the implementation of public works. Chapter 7 is exclusively devoted to the case of the New Acropolis Museum in Athens. Chapter 8 concludes with the suggestion of an operational conflict management model that can be integrated into the heritage management planning. The formation of this model was based on the descriptive conflict management model presented in chapter 3. The operational conflict management model is enriched with a series of guidelines and tactics for dealing effectively with oppositions and conflicts.

Abstract:

Today there are hundreds of historic house museums open in communities across the country. Many of these museums recognize a noted historical character or event while others are noted for their architectural styling and detail. How should these museums care for their collections and interpretations to keep their standards high and to attract visitors? The case studies look at how several museums in east central Indiana operate and manage under different types of ownership, including state, county, and city governments, foundations, and historic groups. From interviews and visitations these museums were analysed as to how they coped with finances, day to day operations, traffic, collections and maintenance policies. The histories and future goals of each site were also researched and documented. Conclusions were drawn after these case studies were finished as to what were the best methods of management in order to achieve a high quality historic house museum.

Abstract:

This paper aims to deepen some characteristics of the digitalization process in Italian museums. In particular, it aims at investigating the role of non-technical employees in such a process. Our research is qualitative and explorative. Three Italian museums, selected through convenient sampling, have been investigated through a longitudinal approach. The study points out the relevance of participatory, emergent, and mainly informal processes aimed at developing the museum’s digital skills. The findings shed new light on the role of non-technical employees in fostering digitalization, thanks to autonomously developed learning processes. These are combined with the willingness to enhance employees’ skills and ideas by museum managers. This approach can be viewed as an alternative or supplement to the development of digital skills through the inclusion of specialized roles (e.g.: digital manager). Some significant theoretical and managerial implications are highlighted, as well as some future lines of research.

Abstract:

Purpose –The purpose of this study is to identify the criteria for sustainable museums found in reference literature and specified in our research, and to suggest guidelines for museums to follow. Methodology –In our primary research, the criteria for a sustainable museum were interpreted along four pillars, for which in-depth expert interviews were conducted with Hungarian museum professionals. Semi-structured interviews were used to explore the viewpoints, expectations, and perceptions of museum staff. Findings – In terms of environmental sustainability, Hungarian contemporary museums place less emphasis on making the museum building itself more sustainable. However, it is worthwhile for institutions that have long-term plans to become more and more eco-friendly. The issue of economic sustainability is the most problematic for Hungarian museums, which can be greatly improved with an active support community that helps museums either through volunteer work or financially. From a social point of view, one of the most important tasks of museums is to ensure equal opportunities, to reach the widest possible range of people, which is facilitated if the museum can function as a community space that adequately involves museum visitors and if it continuously strengthens its role in education. In terms of cultural sustainability, the responsibilities of museums are collection management, maintaining quality, and artistic vitality. Contribution – We conceptualize and provide a framework for sustainable museums. Through our research, we have contributed to broadening the theoretical background of sustainable museums from the perspective of contemporary art museums.

Abstract:

Museums are vital to the promotion and protection of culture. However, traditional ways to express culture, such as holding exhibitions in venues, have physical limitations that block cultural outputs. With the development of digital information technology, digital twins can replace these traditional methods and assist museums in overcoming problems of limited information storage, management difficulties, and physical limitations, thereby allowing museums to disseminate culture over the world effectively. Specifically, digital twin is a process of establishing a multidisciplinary, multi-scale ,and multi-physics model that simulates objects in reality. Digital twin theory can store and represent detailed information of objects, such as their materials, textures, and 2D and 3D images. In fact, digital twin theory has already been applied in different usage scenarios in multidisciplinary fields. Also, digital twin has great importance to the modernization of smart museums. Here, we performed a literature review and qualitative and quantitative analyses to study how the digital twin theory and related digital information technologies promote the construction of smart museums. First, we summarized the process of realizing smart museums with the digital twin theory. Second, we discussed the interactive relationships among physical objects, virtual objects, service platforms, and digital platforms. Third, we described related technologies of digital twin theory from three aspects: The information representation, restoration, and exhibition of cultural relic. By combining concrete instances, we analyzed the construction of smart museums in the National Palace Museum and Mogao Grotto Digital Exhibition Center in Dunhuang and discussed the application of digital twin theory in visualizing museum information. Lastly, based on the digital twin theory, we summarized three characteristics of information visualization design of smart museums – high precision, multiple dimensions, and interactivity – and discussed the challenges faced by smart museums. The challenges that require further optimization of the digital twin system include but are not limited to immature technology, inconsistent standards, and high hardware requirements. Overall, our work will provide a reference for the future development of smart museums.

Abstract:

Indonesia marked a new era, known as the Reformation Era, in 1998 after the downfall of Suharto, the main face of the regime called the New Order (Orde Baru) and ran the government from 1966 to 1998. This long-run government creates certain structures in many sectors, including the museum sector in Indonesia. Suharto leads the government in a totalitarian manner, his power control over many layers, including the use of museums as regime propaganda tools. The propaganda in the museums such as a standardized storyline, the use of historical versions that are approved by the government, and the representation of violence through the military tale with the nation’s great enemy is made for the majority of museums from the west to east Indonesia at that time. Thus, after almost two-decade after the downfall of the New Order regime how Indonesian museum transform into this new era? In the new democratic era, museum management is brought back to the regional government. The museums are encouraged to writing the local history and deconstruct the storyline from the previous regime. Not only just stop there, but there are alsomany new museums open to the public with new concepts or storylines to revive the audience. Even, the new museum was also erected by the late president’s family to rewrite the narration of the hero story of Suharto in Yogyakarta. This article aims to look up the change in the Indonesian museum post-New Order regime. How they adjust curatorial narration to present the storyline, is there any change to re-write the new narrative, or they actually still represent the New-Order idea along with the violence symbolic that never will deconstruct. Indonesia menandai masa baru yang dikenal sebagai masa reformasi pada tahun 1998 dengan tumbangnya Soeharto yang menjadi wajah utama rezim yang dikenal dengan sebutan Orde Baru ini. Pemerintahan Orde Baru telah berlangsung sejak tahun 1966 hingga 1998 yang mengubah banyak tatanan kehidupan, termasuk sektor permuseum di Indonesia. Corak pemerintahan Orde Baru yang condong pada kontrol dan totalitarian mengantarkan museum sebagai kendaraan propaganda rezim Soeharto. Dimulai dari narasi storyline yang seragam di seluruh museum negeri di Indonesia hingga kekerasan simbolik lewat narasi militer dan musuh besar bangsa. Lalu setelah hampir dua dekade era reformasi di Indonesia bagaimana perubahan museum di Indonesia? Pada era demokrasi yang lebih terbuka, pengelolaan museum dikembalikan kepada pemerintah daerah dan diharapkan untuk dapat menulis kembali sejarah lokal yang baru. Tak berhenti disitu, banyak museum-museum baru yang tumbuh berdiri memberikan kesegaran baru namun juga muncul museum yang berbau rezim Orde Baru turut didirikan sebagai upaya menuliskan narasi.

Abstract:

The new coronavirus (Covid-19) is one of the main challenges world today has to address. With no large scale availability vaccine yet, and more or less experimental medical treatments for curing the disease, we can safely say that we are still far behind a solution to this problem. This new pandemic is considered the biggest threat to the global economy since the Second World War and there is no aspects of human life have not been affected it, spiritual ones included. Its high contagiousness, as well as novelty, raised all kind of challenges and one of the main ones was our manner to produce answers, in early stages at least, this creating problem on its own and of its design. As well as all the other institutions, theatres, cinemas, concert halls, spaces of socialization and in the same time places of wonder, knowledge and spiritual enrichment the museums were heavily affected by the pandemic crisis, especially those who’s collections are not, but in very small proportion available, to the public through virtual media. Such a case is „Princely Court„ National Museums Ensemble from Targoviste, Dambovita County, Romania. The present paper proposes an overview of the highlights in institution′s activity the past years in comparison with how the pandemic crisis affected its activity in the past months and what were the responses given to keep the museum in the eye of the public. It will also try to summarize how and to what extent the activity went back to „normal” after the emergency state earlier imposed was lifted and how the visitors responded to the new realities.

Abstract:

Bendigo, where the traditional owners are the Dja Dja Wurrung people, has capitalised on its European historical roots. Its striking architecture owes much to its Gold Rush past which has also given it a diverse cultural heritage. The creative industries, while not well recognised as such, contribute well to the local economy. The many festivals, museums and library exhibitions attract visitors from the metropolitan centre of Victoria especially. The Bendigo Creative Industries Hub was a local council initiative while the Ulumbarra Theatre is located within the City’s 1860’s Sandhurst Gaol. Many festivals keep the city culturally active and are supported by organisations such as Bendigo Bank. The Bendigo Writers Festival, the Bendigo Queer Film Festival, The Bendigo Invention & Innovation Festival, Groovin the Moo and the Bendigo Blues and Roots Music Festival are well established within the community. A regional accelerator and Tech School at La Trobe University are touted as models for other regional Victorian cities. The city has a range of high quality design agencies, while the software and digital content sector is growing with embeddeds working in agriculture and information management systems. Employment in Film, TV and Radio and Visual Arts has remained steady in Bendigo for a decade while the Music and Performing Arts sector grew quite well over the same period.

Abstract:

The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act of 2006 mandat¬ed the research and management of the nation’s deep-sea coral resources through establishment of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administra¬tion’s Deep Sea Coral Research and Technology Program. The challenge for Alaska was daunting, where expansive, world-class fisheries often coincided with extraordinarily rich coral habitats for a high-latitude region. The first chal¬lenge was to inventory known locations of deep-sea corals. Many coral records and some museum collections existed from Alaska, but the taxonomy of cor¬als was little studied and field iden¬tification of corals was problematic. Formal bycatch programs and research activities in recent decades provided many more specimens for taxonomic study, but guides to species were largely incomplete, inaccurate, and outdated given the fast pace of species discovery in Alaska. We provide a comprehen¬sive, up-to-date guide, detailing 161 coral taxa identified from museum collections, primary literature, and video records. Each profile includes a description, images for each taxon, taxonomic history, biology, ecology, geographical distribution, and habitat, including depth distribution. Corals are found in the six regions of Alaska but the coral fauna of the Aleutian Islands is by far the most species rich. The state of taxonomy for some coral groups is ex¬cellent, while others require additional collections and more taxonomic work. Construction of this guide resulted in descriptions of several antipatharian species, published separately from this guide (Alternatipathes mirabilis, Bathypathes alaskensis, B. ptiloides, B. tiburonae, and Parantipathes pluma) and the scleractinian Flabellum (Flabel¬lum) oclairi Cairns, sp. nov. described herein. The guide provides informa¬tion for targeting new collections and identifying areas of high abundance and indicator species of vulnerable marine ecosystems. Stakeholders can now more adequately assess Alaska’s coral resources and risks from natural and anthropogenic stressors.

Full text

Abstract:

Mojave National Preserve (MOJA) in the Mojave Desert of southern California hosts an extensive geologic record, with units ranging in age from the Paleoproterozoic (2.5 to 1.7 billion years ago) to the Quaternary (present day). MOJA topography is dominated by numerous mountain ranges hosting extensive geological exposures divided by expansive valleys, dunes, and a low elevation dry salt lake. Some geological units are fossil-bearing, both within the preserve and in adjacent lands outside the boundaries of the preserve. The fossils preserved within MOJA span from the Proterozoic Eon (uncertain maximum age of fossiliferous rocks, but at least approximately 550 million years ago) to the Holocene Epoch (beginning 11,700 years ago). Abundant and diverse marine fossils are preserved in units dated from the late Proterozoic through most of the Cambrian, as well as from the Devonian through the early Permian. More recent volcanic tuff and unconsolidated sedimentary deposits in valleys preserve Cenozoic flora and fauna. Geologic surveys documented paleontological resources within the modern (2023) boundaries of MOJA as early as 1914, but fossils were rarely the focus of detailed study, and no comprehensive inventory was compiled. John Hazzard was the first geologist to devote significant attention to the study of paleontology within MOJA. Throughout the 1930s and 1940s, Hazzard and collaborators identified Paleozoic assemblages within the Kelso and Providence Mountains. Between the 1950s to 1980s, several dissertations and theses described the geology of various areas within MOJA, in which the authors provided limited paleontological descriptions and fossil locality information. Jack Mount conducted extensive paleontological research in the Cambrian sections of the Providence Mountains in the 1970s and 1980s, focusing on olenellid trilobites in the Latham Shale. As early as the 1960s, rockhounds collecting opalite and petrified wood discovered fossilized plant material and vertebrate bones in areas now in south-central MOJA and notified paleontologists at San Bernardino County Museum (SBCM). This resulted in one of the only paleontological excavations in what is now MOJA, with collections of Miocene vertebrate fauna including camelid and early rhino material. More recently, James Hagadorn reported the late-surviving Ediacaran organism Swartpuntia in an assemblage from the Wood Canyon Formation of the Kelso Mountains in 2000. From October 2021 to January 2022, a field inventory was conducted to determine the scope and distribution (both temporal and geospatial) of paleontological resources at MOJA. An additional week of field work was conducted in December 2022. A total of thirteen localities were documented and field-checked throughout the preserve. These localities resulted from field checks of previously reported fossil sites, as well as new discoveries based on literature searches and information provided by MOJA staff. The findings of this report constitute a baseline of paleontology resource data for MOJA, and reflect the current understanding of the scope, significance, and distribution of MOJA’s fossil record. This report provides a foundation for the management and protection of paleontological resources within MOJA and supports future education, interpretation,
