Special Collections Collections Development Policy Appendices Manchester Metropolitan University Special Collections Collections Development Policy Appendices APPENDIX 1 History and content of the Book collections The foundation of the Book Design collection lies in a number of important arts and crafts books inherited from the Manchester School of Art Library which were collected alongside and in support of the school’s museum of arts and crafts objects. From these origins in the late 19th century, the collection was developed further by the acquisition of private press books, continuing the arts and crafts tradition, and in the early 20th century reflecting the renaissance of English wood engraving. Presses from this period include Circle, Essex House, Fleece, Golden Cockerel, Gregynog, Kelmscott, Nonesuch, Rampant Lions and Whittington. With a strong foundation to build on, many gaps in the existing holdings were filled during the last three decades of the 20th century, as the University Librarian was an expert in 20th century wood engraving. During this period books demonstrating a range of typographic, illustrative and printing techniques were also added to create a collection which reflects a history of British book design and production in the 19th and 20th centuries. The collection was enhanced in 1967 by the substantial donation of the Manchester Society of Architects Library, which is particularly strong in late 18th and 19th century pattern and source books. Artists who have studied or taught at the University are collected as well as examples of publications from other British art schools. Two major Victorian children’s book artists, Walter Crane and Randolph Caldecott were former Director and pupil at the Manchester School of Art and their work is well represented in this collection. Additional strengths include a complete collection of the output of the Nonesuch Press and substantial holdings from the Limited Editions Club. These sit alongside fine examples of books produced by British commercial publishing houses such as Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, Faber and Penguin. Books were also acquired alongside and in support of the growing collection of archives of artists and organisations involved in book design and production, enabling the study of both process and product in the same location. The Artists Books have been acquired by the Library since the 1970’s. They were originally part of the main library, and were later transferred to form a separate reference sequence within the Book Design collection. This was in response to student needs, as a consequence of the growing recognition of artists’ books as a distinct genre and to take account of the varied conservation requirements of this type of book object. A key principle underpinning this collection is the acquisition, where appropriate, of the work of current and former members of MMU staff and students. The origins of the Children’s Books collection date from the formation of Manchester Polytechnic in 1970. The resultant Manchester Polytechnic Library was formed from various college libraries including those based at Didsbury College of Education and Elizabeth Gaskell College of Education. The largest group of books in this collection were acquired mainly in the first ten years of the Polytechnic Library in response to the interest of students of librarianship, graphic design and teachers in training. These were housed in the Special Collections Room at the then main, central library of the Polytechnic, for reference use only. This collection of books 1 Manchester Metropolitan University Special Collections Collections Development Policy Appendices became part of MMUSC in the late 20th century along with selected material from the Didsbury and Gaskell collections. The Didsbury College of Education and the Elizabeth Gaskell College of Education both held significant collections of children’s books. The Didsbury collection consisted of Children’s literature for its teacher education courses along with the Morten-Dandy collection, whilst the latter included rare 19th century children’s books donated by Miss Madge Dandy and subsequently added to by Eric J. Morten. A smaller group of books were acquired by the Elizabeth Gaskell College of Education and were similar in character and purpose to the Morten-Dandy Collection. APPENDIX 2 History and content of the Archive collections Archival material created during the institutional history of the Manchester School of Art, and the other institutions that formed Manchester Polytechnic, began to be deposited, informally, in the University Library in the early 1980s. In 2006 the decision was taken to accession the Manchester School of Art archive as part of the archive collections in the Museum was based primarily upon the close association between the history of the School of Art and a number of pre-existing areas of the Collections; especially the Manchester School of Art Collection and certain areas of the book collections. Only material that predated the creation of Manchester Polytechnic in 1970, which marked the termination of the School of Art as an autonomous institution, were included in the archive. Post 1970 archival material and material relating to the history of the other constituent colleges of Manchester Polytechnic was not accessioned, but was, nevertheless, retained as being of historic value. It is anticipated that the University will make more formal provision for this material in the future. The Artists, designers and the arts professions archive is closely associated with the Book Design collection. From the 1980s, exhibitions of work by illustrators, usually curated by the University Librarian, became a feature of the Library. These exhibitions focused upon artists whose work was well represented within the book collections and helped to establish contacts with those illustrators and their families, which began to lead to the deposit of archival material in support of exhibitions, teaching and future research. In 2004, the Archivist post was made permanent and the commitment and stability of custodianship that this permanent post created, has allowed for a number of further acquisitions along with accruals to existing archives, building upon the established strengths of the collection. This collection comprises 38 distinct archives: Barnett Freedman archive Norman Wilson archive The Fleece Press archive Karl Hagedorn archive Paul Hogarth archive Robin Jacques archive John Farleigh archive Lillian Reburn archive Rigby Graham archive John O’Connor archive Peter Reddick archive Graham Worth archive Cotton Board Colour Design and Style Bradshaw and Blacklock print Centre archive collection 2 Manchester Metropolitan University Special Collections Collections Development Policy Appendices John Lawrence archive Trickett and Webb calendar collection Doreen Roberts archive Albert E Barlow archive Design Process collection David Walker archive Parry family archive Mary Butcher Baxter print collection Harry Pratt archive Bracket Press archive Walter Fielden Royle archive Sam Rabin archive Leslie Wood archive Douglas Martin papers Society of Wood Engravers Joan Hargreaves archive Olive Openshaw archive Morgan Hewinson archive Ruth Evans archive Roderick Cave papers Margaret Tournour collection Derek Clarkson archive Fancy Paper Company archive Manchester School of Art Textile Department archive Sopon Bézirdjian archive Manchester and region architecture archives - the book collections within the Museum have a historic strength in architecture, and associated areas such as furniture design and interior design, emanating from the place of those subjects within the curriculum of the Manchester School of Art. In addition, the library of the Manchester Society of Architects was acquired in 1967. This established strength of the collection, encouraged the donation of small amounts of archival material, especially relating to the teaching of the architecture in Manchester during the 20th century. In 2013, after consultation with other local repositories (the University of Manchester Library Special Collections, Archives+ (Manchester), and the Greater Manchester County Records Office), it was decided to formally make this an area of active collecting. The aim being to collect 19th and 20th century archival material relating to the practice and the teaching of architecture in Manchester and it’s immediate surrounding region. The Manchester and region architecture archives currently comprises 12 distinct archives/collections as follows: Cruickshank and Seward architects archive John Archer architecture collection Taylor Young architecture archive Manchester School of Architecture photography teaching collection Henry Sellers archive Partnership in Style exhibition photography collection Manchester and region architectural photography collection Harry S. Fairhurst exhibition archive Alan Morris archive Keith Ingram archive Arthur Arschavir glass slide architectural teaching collection Freeman O'Donoghue Photographic collection APPENDIX 3 History and content of the Greetings cards collections In 2007 Simon Lawrence, who owns and runs the Fleece Press, offered to donate to MMUSC a significant collection of artist made and/or designed Christmas cards. These cards had either been sent to him or to his grandfather, Stanley T.E. Lawrence, who had been proprietor of the family art supply company. The design, visual quality and the chronological development of these cards made them a self- 3 Manchester Metropolitan University Special Collections Collections

  • News Release Embargoed Until 5Pm on Wednesday 11 October 2017
    News release Embargoed until 5pm on Wednesday 11 October 2017 Alistair Hudson appointed as new Director for Manchester Art Gallery and The University of Manchester’s Whitworth The University of Manchester and Manchester City Council have today announced that Alistair Hudson, currently Director of the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art (mima), will be the new Director of Manchester Art Gallery and the Whitworth. Alistair will take up his role in the New Year. He succeeds Maria Balshaw at the Whitworth and Manchester Art Gallery following her appointment as Director of Tate earlier this year. He brings with him a wealth of experience at the forefront of the culture sector and a strong record of championing art as a tool for social change and education. During the last three years as Director at mima, he set out the institution’s vision as a ‘Useful Museum’, successfully engaging its local communities and responding to the town’s industrial heritage, as well as placing it amongst the most prestigious galleries in the UK. Alistair began his career at the Anthony d’Offay Gallery, London (1994-2000), before joining The Government Art Collection (2000-04) where, as Projects Curator, he devised a public art strategy for the new Home Office building with Liam Gillick. As Deputy Director of Grizedale Arts (2004-14) in the Lake District, he helped the institution gain critical acclaim for its radical approaches to working with artists and communities, based on the idea that art should be useful and not just an object of contemplation. Outside of these roles he is also Chair of Culture Forum North, an open network of partnerships between Higher Education and the cultural sector across the North and co-director of the Asociación de Arte Útil with Tania Bruguera.

  • Essays of Robert Louis Stevenson by Robert Louis
    Essays of Robert Louis Stevenson By Robert Louis Stevenson 1 PREFACE The text of the following essays is taken from the Thistle Edition of Stevenson's Works, published by Charles Scribner's Sons, in New York. I have refrained from selecting any of Stevenson's formal essays in literary criticism, and have chosen only those that, while ranking among his masterpieces in style, reveal his personality, character, opinions, philosophy, and faith. In the Introduction, I have endeavoured to be as brief as possible, merely giving a sketch of his life, and indicating some of the more notable sides of his literary achievement; pointing out also the literary school to which these Essays belong. A lengthy critical Introduction to a book of this kind would be an impertinence to the general reader, and a nuisance to a teacher. In the Notes, I have aimed at simple explanation and some extended literary comment. It is hoped that the general recognition of Stevenson as an English classic may make this volume useful in school and college courses, while it is not too much like a textbook to repel the average reader. I am indebted to Professor Catterall of Cornell and to Professor Cross of Yale, and to my brother the Rev. Dryden W. Phelps, for some assistance in locating references. W.L.P., YALE UNIVERSITY, 13 February 1906. 2 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION BIBLIOGRAPHY I ON THE ENJOYMENT OF UNPLEASANT PLACES NOTES II AN APOLOGY FOR IDLERS NOTES III AES TRIPLEX NOTES IV TALK AND TALKERS NOTES V A GOSSIP ON ROMANCE NOTES VI THE CHARACTER OF DOGS NOTES VII A COLLEGE MAGAZINE NOTES 3 VIII BOOKS WHICH HAVE INFLUENCED ME NOTES IX PULVIS ET UMBRA NOTES 4 INTRODUCTION I LIFE OF STEVENSON Robert Louis Stevenson[1] was born at Edinburgh on the 13 November 1850.

Figure 1: Bill Lee and Arthur Blackburn, Circulation Department Manual Attendants, possibly late 1950s, MA/15/37, No. V143, V&A Archive, © Victoria and Albert Museum, London. Joanna Weddell University of Brighton with the Victoria and Albert Museum AHRC Part-time Collaborative Doctoral Award AH/I021450/1 3 BLANK 4 Thesis Abstract This thesis establishes the post-war regional impact of the Victoria and Albert Museum’s Circulation Department (Circ) which sent touring exhibitions to museums and art schools around the UK in the period 1947-1977, an area previously unexplored to any substantial depth. A simplistic stereotypical dyad of metropolitan authority and provincial deference is examined and evidence given for a more complex flow between Museum and regions. The Introduction outlines the thesis aims and the Department’s role in the dissemination of art and design. The thesis is structured around questions examining the historical significance of Circ, the display and installation of Circ’s regional exhibitions, and the flow of influence between regions and museum. Context establishes Circ not as a straightforward continuation of Cole’s Victorian mission but as historically embedded in the post-war period.
